Are 15% of British Columbians Vegetarian?

Museum of CommunismInsights West recently released data from a poll on the treatment of animals. The headline result was that 88% of respondents were against trophy hunting – hopefully a wake up call to the government which still supports it. However, the surprising result for me was that only 85% of British Columbians were in favour of “eating animals”. Usually vegetarianism in Canada is estimated at around 5% of the population. Either BC has a much higher percentage of vegetarians than the rest of Canada or some people who eat meat don’t realize it comes from animals.

  2. There are more vegetarian/vegan restaurant in Vancouver, BC than many other cities in the world. While there are a few that closed down, there’s a new one that recently opened up in downtown Vancouver called Fynfood.
