Appendix A: Methodology; Appendix B: Vegetarian Websites; Notes; Select Bibliography; IndexVegetarianism seems to be increasing in popularity and acceptance in the United States and Canada, yet, quite surprisingly, the percentage of the population practicing vegetarian diets has not changed dramatically over the past 30 years.
