AB  - The main findings of a detailed qualitative study of the
motivations, beliefs and attitudes of practising vegetarians and vegans
are reported. It is concluded that vegetarianism, while remaining very
much a minority option, is increasing steadily in the UK population,
although the rate of increase appears to vary by such factors as age,
gender and socio‐economic category. Those who opt for a non‐meat‐eating
dietary pattern may well represent the vanguard of a form of ethical
consumerism to which food producers, processors and retailers will need
to be increasingly responsive in the near future.
