Bullshit.

The just-released “Vegetarianism in America” study, published by
Vegetarian Times (vegetariantimes.com), shows that 3.2 percent of
U.S. adults, or 7.3 million people, follow a vegetarian-based diet.
Approximately 0.5 percent, or 1 million, of those are vegans, who
consume no animal products at all.


There are barely 7.5 million vegetarians, let alone "vegans".

"veganism" is the province of the lunatic fringe - period.
