At some point in 2022....I sat and viewed a short discussion on a numbers report....saying Germany (population of 83-million)....had 2.6-million vegans.
If you do the numbers (I haven't really bought into the numbers being accurate...yeah, I'm skeptical)....it's around 3-percent.
What is generally suggested (Vegans talking about this)....is that from 2015 to 2020....the numbers doubled in nature.
Reason? I'd offer that a fair amount of public TV time was spent on the food angle, and suggesting you might be better off (health-wise).
Three reasons I skeptical? First, a fair number of people just said they'd quit red-meat, and became turkey/chicken/fish orientated. The vegan crowd wants to include them, but I'd say no.....they don't fit the profile.
Second, a couple of years ago....some health study was done and found that eight out of ten folks who swore they were going Vegan....eventually quit within a year or two. One of the odd reasons they give....meat sits better in their belly....than vegetables.
Third, some folks find that they are missing B-12 (as a vitamin), and this often leads people back to some type of meat diet....even if it's just once or twice a week.
So I'll just say this....if you find some German gushing and pulsating over their new-found Veganism....don't ruin their day or say anything skeptical. Just start counting the days and see if they make it past 100.
