In the 1967 musical “Doctor Doolittle,” Rex Harrison in the title role sings about being a “reluctant but sincere vegetarian,” as he hears piglet Gub-Gub’s squeals as sausage and bacon sizzle over an open flame. Some 50 years later, 7.5% of millennials and Gen Z have given up meat, while only 2.5% of Americans over the age of 50 consider themselves vegetarian (meat-free and in some cases, free from animal-derived foods such as eggs and milk), reports market research firm Statista.
Market research analysts and experts note that dairy alternative “milks,” not to mention dairy-free creamers, cheese, vegan ice cream, and yogurt are experiencing mixed results.
