Answer 4

Like "Christians," there are so many different incarnations of "vegetarian" that you can't lump us all together in one category.  Estimates are between 2 and 6 percent of the total population.

But the numbers are growing as people become more aware that you can't be an environmentalist and not a vegetarian.
