13% vegan population would mean they have the highest per capita vegans in the world. Difficult to believe.
Surprised by such a comment from somebody who posts in the India boards. Religion is a much more powerful reason for people turning/remaining vegan, compared to a speech. As long as hinduism and jainism flourish, so will vegetarianism.
I don't think so. That honor should go to India, where around 40% of the population is vegetarian (especially the Hindus). In some of the Indian states (such as Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat and Haryana), up to 80% of the total population is vegetarian. And Nepal and Taiwan might come next after India in percentage terms.
I think you are wrong about Uttar Pradesh. It has a high proportion of muslims. So it is unlikely that 80% of the population is vegetarian.
