Plant-based poll

The future is plant-based, suggests a new survey commissioned by the Vancouver Humane Society. The poll was conducted in December 2022 among a representative sample of 803 residents in British Columbia’s Lower Mainland who were members of the Angus Reid Forum. The results revealed ground-breaking findings about eating habits and the attitudes around plant-based eating, including that 65% of respondents had reduced their consumption of animal products!

Here are some amazing findings from the survey that show the growing popularity and demand for plant-based foods:

Three statistics in green circular charts: 65% of British Columbians in the Lower Mainland have reduced their animal product consumption; 73% would view food services that offer a greater variety of plant-based options as more inclusive; 65% would eat more plant-based meals if there were more tasty options available when dining out.

This data was used to inform a report on the impact an individual can make by shifting part or all of their diet to plant-based foods. You can find the report written from this analysis below.
