There are millions of estimated vegetarians throughout Europe. A general idea is that about 4-5% of the entire population is vegetarian and strictly follows the diet as well.
327, it's accurate. I counted.
India has the most number of vegetarians. According to various sources (including Food and Agricultural Organization, UNO and United States Department of Agriculture, USA), about 30% (average of estimates) of Indian population is vegetarian. That means as of 2010 more than 300 million Indians are vegetarians. Indian vegetarians are rarely vegans and mostly lacto vegetarians (that is, vegetarians who consume milk, but not meat or eggs). There are substantial lacto ovo vegetarians (that is, who consume milk and eggs, but not meat), too.
21%
40% of the population. 470 million. In the State of the Nation survey in 2006, 31% are lacto-vegetarian 9% are lacto-ovo vegetarian
It has been suggested that the average population of non-vegetarians in the world is 950 out of every 1000 people. In the USA it is estimated that 96.7% of the population are non-vegetarian.
Because they are referring to the person's diet. Many vegetarians call people who eat meat non-vegetarians while they usually call themselves omnivorous.
It is about a fair split. While some will remain partial vegetarians, many will ultimatel bdome full-fledged vegetarians or even vegan after many years.
