A majority of the respondents eating plant-based for Christmas made the switch within the past four years.
An impressive 20% of Brits are planning to ditch meat this Christmas, according to a survey.
Food delivery platform Deliveroo, which commissioned a survey of 2,000 adults also found that the majority (58%) eating plant-based for Christmas made the switch within the past four years.
46% decided to change their diet to vegan or vegetarian in the last two years.
The survey also revealed that more men are ditching meat in the last year (47%) compared to women (23%).
Plant-based shift
The top reason for ditching meat this festive season was that more than half (55%) of respondents said they predicted having guests who were following a plant-based diet.
Health (32%) and animal welfare concerns (27%) were cited as other reasons for choosing plant-based meals.
Plant-based goes mainstream
The Deliveroo poll aligns with several other recent surveys that confirm how meat has slowly fallen out of favour with consumers.
A previous study by published in the journal The Lancet Planetary Health revealed that meat and fish consumption in the UK has dropped by 17% over the past decade.
Another study by The Vegan Society revealed that around 25% of Brits cut on meat and dairy since Covid-19.
Deliveroo’s own sales data shows that plant-based orders have more than doubled over the past year.
The award-winning delivery service reported a 105% year-on-year growth in vegan dishes since November 2020.
A Deliveroo spokesperson also revealed that ‘vegan’ is now one of the most popular search terms on the Deliveroo app.
