Veggie Diet Gains Exposure from Celebrities

Recently there has been a trend of younger kids adopting a meatless diet for a variety of reasons. About 3% of kids in the US between the age of 8 to 18 call themselves vegetarians. But why this increase in change of diet?

A variety of reasons can contribute to this rise in vegetarian diets such as religious beliefs, growing up in a vegetarian family or that they want to improve their health and body.

And thanks to recent endorsements by celebrity vegetarians such as country singer Carrie Underwood and actor Tobey Maguire, the diet has gained exposure.

“A survey by Teenage Research Unlimited found that one in four teenagers consider a vegetarian diet “cool” (even if they don’t follow one themselves).”
