No country is entirely meat-free. While some countries have higher percentages of vegetarians and vegans, meat consumption still exists.
It is important to distinguish between countries with a high prevalence of vegetarianism/veganism and countries where meat consumption is non-existent (which currently isn't the case anywhere).
Here are some countries with significant vegetarian populations:
- India: Often cited as having one of the largest vegetarian populations in the world.
- Brazil, Taiwan, Israel, Australia, Argentina, Finland, and Sweden: These countries also boast sizable vegetarian populations.
It's also worth noting that even within these countries, dietary choices vary greatly, and meat consumption remains a part of many people's diets.
Therefore, while several countries have significant vegetarian communities, no country is completely meat-free.
