Public attitudes to dietary choices and meat-eating in the United States

This chart examines survey data on dietary choices and attitudes towards animal sentience. It shows a correlation between individuals’ dietary preferences—such as vegetarianism or veganism—and their beliefs about the sentience of animals.
