One in a hundred.
Despite parades, sets, cheerful performances based on red paint, sit-ins, militias and various vegan hyenas, those who in Italy have chosen to eat fruit, vegetables and wild berries are only 1% of the population, for a total total of four, five million people, as La Stampa reports today.
Few, compared to the great talk of this diet with strict boundaries, so rigid that it often leads to Taliban intransigence and food extremism.
And this would be the reason why such a small number of Italians have chosen to consume exclusively foods of vegetable origin, giving up those of animal origin but also their derivatives - honey, milk, cheeses, butter, egg pasta, prepared products. with lard and others.
A diet considered by many to be "extreme and radical" and often accompanied by a disturbing outline of "fanaticism and intolerance", such as to make its followers perceive as a sect and veganism the last of the post-modern religions.
This is what emerges from the most recent Eurispes study on the subject, which also found that, last year alone, vegans were even triple in quantity, or about 3% of the total population.
A significant drop - instead of an increase in more relaxed vegetarians, who settle at 6% - perhaps also caused by what the market "does not" offer to those who have decided to follow a vegan diet.
In fact, if there are no problems for vegans at restaurants and dinners with friends, it becomes more difficult to find, especially in large-scale distribution, snacks or portions that can satisfy their needs.
In practice, if the big industry were more adapted to their needs, the Italian vegans could be many more.
And who knows, maybe relegate us, obtuse carnivores, to the solitude of our kitchens. With the only comfort of a modest and sparing menu: tagliatelle with meat sauce, grilled pork chop and panna cotta for dessert. Just to appreciate.
