Yesterday the report A Pound of Flesh was released, featuring survey results about whether Australians are vegetarian or vegan and what their attitudes to animals are.
While the number of vegans in Australia is very low, 99% of people nevertheless say they’re against cruelty to animals. 56% of Australians overall say they’d consider becoming vegan and 54% believe you can be healthy on a vegan diet (as the American Dietitic Association and others confirm).
Even though it’s unlikely Australia will switch to being vegan anytime soon, it does suggest Australians are open to the idea of being vegan and that the number of vegans has the potential to increase significantly in the coming years.
