    As a fellow Mexican, 19% is too damn high, even for a vegetarian diet. That would mean that each family has at least one vegetarian/vegan member, which might be true only if we count families in the widest sense possible, in big cities. Then again, 19% is far from reality.

    EDIT: Yeah, it’s a weird table indeed. 12% of Argentinian people are vegan? Well, says the UVA, a vegan organization, based on an unpublished study paid by them. In the case of Mexico, says Nielsen, based on a study of 30,000 internet users from 63 countries in 2016, which explains the skewed results but not the ample difference between Mexico and the average of the region. Also, seems like the most convenient result for vegans, not the most up-to-date.
