[QUOTE="DavidGrahamJones, post: 1934767, member: 245335"] This from the BBC, so it must be true. LOL An estimated three million people in the UK have tried the controversial Atkins Diet, suggests a poll. However, the poll, conducted on behalf of ITV, found that 7% of men and 10% of women had given it a try. Not sure what constitutes mainstream but the number of people who have tried just Atkins is pretty significant. These figures don't even count just plain old low carb. Obviously that number aren't continuously on Atkins but I think the numbers suggest that low carb is no more unusual than vegan. Research by comparethemarket.com uncovered how many people living in the UK identify as vegan, finding that the number has jumped dramatically since 2016. Data circulated two years ago which said that 542,000 people aged 15 and over – just over one percent of the population – identified as vegan. The information also showed that 1.14 million people in Britain were vegetarian. However, the most recent data now states that an impressive 7% of the UK’s population is now vegan, suggesting a 700% increase in the past two years alone. Further, 14% of Britain’s population – more than seven million people – are now vegetarian. Looks like vegan and vegetarian are more mainstream now than they were two years ago. [/QUOTE]
