Question for high schoolers about Vegetarianism.?

Hi,

I was in high school in the 80's. Yep. Old.

At that time, it was extremely uncommon to be a vegetarian.

Now it seems to be so much more common. I'm just curious to know what percentage of your friends would you guess are vegetarians?

    Absolutely none of my friends are veg*ns. None. It can be quite a pain when that's what for dinner at their house, or the constant teasing.

    But it's worth it.

    In highschool (late 90s) there are maybe two others in my class of 130 (very rural small town). In university about 50% of my friends were vegetarian or vegan. That's probably a lot more than average but I interacted a lot with the environmental society and the Indian community where vegetarian ideas are much more prevelant.

  • I don't have any vegetarian friends sadly. Though I do know of a vegetarian guy at my school. We are in the same class but the fact were both vegetarians didn't spark a friendship.

    Very few of my friends in high school were vegetarians. Same with college. However, I have friends in the Indian community, and it's rare to find someone who isn't a vegetarian. Oh, and I was in high school and college in this decade, I just graduated college!
