People adopt a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle for a variety of reasons. They might believe meat is unhealthy or unethical, or they may believe that cutting it out of their diet altogether is the best way to lose weight. You may have even made the change at one point or another for your own reasons; or perhaps you’re thinking of making it your New Year’s resolution for 2015. No matter the reason, as I recently discovered, these dietary changes tend to be more of a temporary phase than a permanent change for many people.
You see, results from a new survey indicate that 84% of vegetarians and vegans eventually go back to eating meat; 53% go back within a year, while 30% go back within three months.
The survey was conducted by an animal advocacy group called Humane Research Council and used data from more than 11,000 American adults.
