Where are our vegans located?

I'm from Vancouver, Canada.

Calgary canada here.

Northeastern Minnesota off Lake Superior.

Seattle, WA :hi:

There should be choices for Australia, the UK, Europe, Canada, Asia, the Middle East, etc. We have members from all over the world.

Just outside of Buffalo, NY

Agreed! I'm from the UK, have lived in Australia and now live in Portugal.

I suspect there are far more vegans in other parts of the world than the U.S. Americans like their meat and dairy too d*** much. :/

Dallas, TX

I would have put more choices. Unfortunately, the poll option only allows for 10 options and the US pretty much took up all those. If I get a whole lot of foreign responses, I may set up another poll just to see where all of them are. Thanks for your input, Capstan.

I've actually done some research in this area. The biggest beef consumers HAD been Argentina. They are still up there, but I believe Uruguay may have replaced them in the top spot. The Japanese also like their beef too. I believe the Danes are also the top pork consumers. Agree with your assessment though. Will do a search to see what the vegetarian statistics are for the US. I do believe the number is growing.

I just pulled some random information from the net about top consumers/producers of poultry, meat, dairy, eggs, and cheese. Not sure of the reliability of the statistics. The US is a top poultry and egg producer in the world as well as in the top running for cheese production (but not consumption). We are not the top consumers of meat though. Sadly it seems that meat, egg, and dairy consumption is steadily increasing worldwide. It is disappointing to see that India, which boosts so many vegetarians, is a top consumer of dairy.
