During a survey conducted among vegetarians and vegans in Great Britain in 2021, it was reported that the main reasons for adopting these new dietary habits were animal-welfare concerns. Environmental concerns were expressed by approximately 53 percent of respondents as a reason to chose a vegan life style. Among vegetarian respondents this number was 20 percent lower.
