Do a lot of vegans go back to eating meat?

Hey, I think the statistics on this are distorted by the fact that some people will experiment with veganism for a while before deciding it is not for them, or those who do it as part of their latest fad. This should be kept separate from those who genuinely do go vegan intending to stick with it and for the right reasons.

For people who do genuinely go vegan for the long term I would imagine not a huge proportion go back to eating meat. Vegans are generally very passionate about their cause and it would seem unlikely that that would change to such a large extent.

If someone is so against animal exploitation I can't imagine how that would someday not apply anymore. I say this because I am a vegan and I can't imagine ever going back to eating meat or even eggs or dairy.

There is also the fact that the longer someone is vegan for, the less appealing non-vegan foods seem as they just can't picture eating them. I have found that I no longer even really think of them as a food option because to me, they are not an option. In my case I can't imagine that ever changing, and I think the longer a person is vegan for the more that will be the case.

No vegans don't go back to eating meat. Some people give up being vegetarian or think they are vegan but really aren't. Veganism is not something you quit it is a way of life not an on and off switch or a wishy washy thing. Living vegan is a commitment to the animals not to exploit them again and to work towards ending their exploitation.

"The word 'veganism' denotes a philosophy and way of living which seeks to end the idea of animals as property and exclude all forms of intentional exploitation of, use of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing, research or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, including people and the environment.

In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals."

It sounds like you might just be dieting so I figure this could help and even if not it is still useful info:

Because it is now traditional, No one follow the culture.But Compare to non-veg, vegetable give more healthy.

No,99% of vegans don't go back to meat eating. Your taste buds change when you become a vegan.

Yes, the only Vegans I know who stick are those who never liked meat anyways.

Every hippy kid, as well as every hindu I've met has eaten meat.

Yes, when vegans finally do start eating meat once again we have a special name for it.

Cured. Kinda like the ham.

If you are doing it because of someone (like someone you are dating) and you stop seeing you'll probably stop it.
