Philadelphia Ranks Amongst the Worst Cities for Vegetarians & Vegans According to a Recent Study!
People choose to adopt plant-based diets for various reasons, some ethical, others health-related. According to a 2019 Harris Poll commissioned by the Vegetarian Resource Group, about ten million U.S. adults are vegan or vegetarian.
