a random selection of countries rather than the top ranking ones and also
the numbers seem to be pretty low compared to other sources.
At least as per Wikipedia, Mexico has around 19%, Brazil /China/Taiwan 14% etc. I live in Germany and here vegetarians are typically estimated at around 10% which corresponds to the number in Wikipedia but it’s not even listed in the graphic above.
That Wikipedia page is odd: in the table of shows Mexico as 19%, and in the Mexican section (below the table) it has 8%, and groups Mexico with Central America.
As a Mexican, even 8% feels high! It is damn hard to find meat free food in most restaurants.
If you know a more reliable source for Mexico, it would be great if you could correct that incorrect article. I just stumbled across Germany not being listed in the original post as I know from several sources that there are +/- 10% vegetarians here.
I’m afraid I don’t have a reliable source of information other than what I can see on the street. Anecdotally it is hard to find pescatarian or vegetarian dishes in many restaurants. If nearly 20% of the population was vegetarian, this wouldn’t be the case.
