Dietary Statistics in the United States

Organizations sometimes try to cater to offering extensive gluten free and kosher products, saying that there is a serious demand over offering vegan and vegetarian options. However, that perception is largely fabricated.

% of US population that identify as Jewish - 1.8% (and declining)
% of US population with Celiac Disease - 1%
% of US population that is vegan - 2-7% (and growing rapidly)
% of US population that is vegetarian - 5-6%

What do you think?
