Humane Research Council report reveals there are very few vegetarian Americans. And five our of six return to meat at some point.
The wheatgrass isn’t always greener on the other side of the food fence.
A new study by the animal-friendly Humane Research Council reveals that 84% of vegetarians and vegans return to consuming our farm friends — and the animal rights world is terrified.
“It’s obviously a negative for animals,” Che Green, executive director of the Humane Research Council, tells the Daily News.
The meaty stats come from the first comprehensive study of current and former vegetarians and vegans conducted by Green’s group and Harris Interactive.
The survey of more than 11,000 adults revealed that only 2% of Americans don’t consume meat at all. And 88% have never been vegetarians or vegans.

SPAM is a gateway meat.
Red diaper baby?
Sometimes, rather than totally ban it, sometimes saving it for special occasions works too. I would be a vegetarian if I didn’t eat it at parties or holidays.
Definitely. I used to always have it sliced up and toasted and put in my sandwich. Later realized that is a lot of salt though.
I know 3 vegetarians. One of them still eats pepperoni on occasion. Another one eats pepperoni and bacon on occasion.
Bacon: the gateway meat.
Most people I know that have done it have done it for the attention. Once that wears off they are back to eating meat.
The survey of more than 11,000 adults revealed that only 2% of Americans don’t consume meat at all. And 88% have never been vegetarians or vegans.
Why??????????????????
Because it ain’t natural to not eat and be grateful for God’s gift, that’s why.
I can smell that Muslim free bacon.
We are carnivores we have our eyes in front not on the sides of our heads.we also have fangs not to bite a carrot.
No, no, no, it's too EASY!!
I was a vegan for almost 10 years. I got fat on it. Went back to meat eating. Thought it would be tough to get used to but one steak and I was back!
The thing is, we are not naturally herbivores. We are omnivores, meaning that our nutritional requirements must be met by eating a variety of different kinds of foods.
Maintaining vegetarianism really is a matter of will against biology. And biology usually wins. In the cases where the will wins, health usually suffers.
In the words of the old commercial, “It’s not nice to fool Mother Nature!” (crack of thunder).
adopting a vegetarian lifestyle takes time, research, patience, trial and error and most importantly, money. When young people realize how bad the OTC stuff tastes and how difficult it is to make the vegetarian options mimic the taste of meat, fish etc, they slowly return to reality.
I know, I was going to change the title but the mods would have beat me up...
Ah, you can’t beat humor on a Friday...
So about the same percentage of Americans are vegetarian as are homosexuals (CDC says 2%).
My next door neighbors went vegan about a year ago. I grill almost every weekend. It must be killing them.
Che Green is a hardcore earth cultist.
Pray America is waking
It’s one of the most amusing aspects of foodie literature. Michael Pollan has said for years that there are way more ex-vegetarians than vegetarians. I read two books back to back once and the women who wrote them were both vegetarians, met a man and were back on meat by the third date.
