With beef prices rising as high as they are right now, some of us who have sworn never to adapt to the lifestyle may end up becoming vegetarians in order to save a buck.
Thankfully, Texas is home to one of the best cities in the nation for vegans and vegetarians!
Austin ranked third in the list compiled by WalletHub, just behind Portland and Los Angeles.
Chip Lupo, an analyst at WalletHub, explained how brands and consumers are adapting to changing dining habits and economic pressures. He said, “While vegetarians and vegans are still a relatively small share of the population, businesses are recognizing their impact on their market. Just look at businesses like McDonald’s and Burger King incorporating Beyond Meat and Impossible burgers into their menus, for example. With meat prices rising significantly faster than vegetable prices, too, we may see a lot more people taking a foray into a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle in the near future.”
The full top ten best cities in the nation for vegans and vegetarians includes:
1 – Portland, OR
2 – Los Angeles, CA
3 – Austin, TX
4 – San Francisco, CA
5 – Oakland, CA
6 – Seattle, WA
7 – Orlando, FL
8 – San Diego, CA
9 – Madison, WI
10 – Tampa, FL
