New research seems to prove that veganism and vegetarianism are usually just passing fads. Psychologist Hal Herzog led a study which determined that nearly every single person who chooses to avoid meat—either as a vegetarian or as a vegan—eventually finds their way back to it.
Actually, she only wanted to know her 31-year-old daughter started eating meat again after becoming a vegan at age 13. She was probably not expecting to learn as much as she did about the trend.
“The proportion of true vegetarians and vegans in the United States is surprisingly small. Only about two percent of respondents did not consume any meat—1.5 percent was vegetarians and 0.5 percent were vegans. These findings are generally consistent with other studies,” explains Herzog.
