   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.
