Define ‘vegetarian’
Vegetarian is when a person chooses to not eat any meat or fish
substances and just live off of fruit, vegetables and other things that
don’t contain meat. Some also say that a vegetarian is someone who
doesn’t eat anything living.
Some people often think that vegetarian means you can live off of
chips, tofu, fake meat alternatives and other things but in reality it is
a fruit and veg based diet, giving the name vegetarian. Sure, you can
eat chips, tofu and meat replacements but there should be
vegetables in there.
Some people also make their pets follow a vegetarian diet, mainly
dog owners. This is because normal pet food is seen as ‘damaging’
and ‘unnatural’. An example of this is in the Will Smith film Seven
Pounds. One of the people he choses to help is a woman with a heart
condition who raises her dog vegetarian.
Why people become vegetarians
People become vegetarians for a number of different reasons. These
include:
• Religion.
• Health reasons.
• Ethical reasons. (Animal right issues).
• To help the planet (‘Global food shortage’).
• To challenge yourself. (Becoming vegetarian is seen as hard).
• To lose weight. (Vegetarianism can be a very healthy life style).
• Food safety. (People die from disease passed on from meat to
people).
• People like to think it will reduce the number of deaths they are
responsible for.
• Or simply just because they don’t like meat.
Vegetarian Demographics
• 59% of vegetarians are female. (This could be because
it can gradually help you lose weight.)
• The majority of vegetarians are age 18 – 34 (42%).
• The top vegetarian city in America (based on number
of vegetarian restaurants) is Portland, Oregon.
• 2% of adults in Britain are vegetarian, equating to over
1.2 million. This has decreased since 2000 when 5% of
UK residents were reported to be vegetarian.
• In India about 30% of the people there are vegetarian
due to their religion.
• Over half the worlds population is vegetarian.
