Not a fun post (but funny song) - Vegetarianism in the US

To be better off than 99% of all humans who have ever existed:

I Feel Lucky

Feel free to enjoy the above song and skip the below. But if you look, please consider supporting efforts to directly reduce unnecessary suffering.

A smaller percentage of Americans identify as vegan or vegetarian than at any other time in the last quarter century.

How I would love to be wrong. From Losing My Religions:

[I]f promoting veganism worked – if the next leaflet, book, video, movie, website was really going to make a difference – we would have seen it by now.

How do I know? Because I did the projections. Decades ago, I calculated what would happen if every vegan converted just one other person every five years. Have we seen anything like that? No.
