Before any carnists claim anything I'm pro-vaccine.

I literally had a guy refuse to look at Harvard Medical School study I sent them showing that the whole foods plant-based diet is healthier and reduces your risk for chronic illness and they dismissed the evidence saying "you can have a study for anything and you cant be healthy on a vegan diet"

I was like "No you can't, not all studies are equal and this is research from Harvard one of the most respected institutions in the world"

How can this person be taken seriously when they wont even look at the evidence and act like they're some dietitian.

According to a large survey carried out by Ipsos, 3% of respondents now identify as following a vegan or plant-based diet, translating to approximately 2 million people in the UK. Younger age groups, particularly those aged 16-44, are leading this shift, being twice as likely to identify as vegan compared to older generations, signaling a strong momentum for continued growth in plant-based living. The survey also revealed that 10% of people in the UK now follow diets that reduce or eliminate animal products in some way, whether vegetarian, pescetarian, or plant-based, reflecting a broad, collective movement toward more mindful and sustainable eating habits.
