One-quarter of vegan subjects said that a friend cut communication with them soon after announcing their veganism.

Anxiety about revealing one’s vegetarianism/veganism was a problem for over one-third of veggie and vegan participants.

Over 40% of vegetarian individuals and over half of vegan respondents reported experiencing everyday prejudice, preparing for potential discrimination, and employing coping strategies.
