It depends very much on the culture. In India, about 30% of the population is vegetarianand there are plenty of restaurants that state they are specifically vegetarian.
As of 2003[update] the Vegetarian Society estimated that there were between 3 and 4 million vegetarians in the UK; one of the highest percentages in the western world, and around 7 million people claim to eat no red meat.
However, in other European countries such as France and Spain, it is difficult to be vegetarian as there are not such strict labeling in place. Many meals called "vegetarian" in Spain will contain some fish.
Around 1 in 200 children in the US are vegetarian, and as of 2004 around 2.8% of the population are vegetarian.
