South Korea’s proportion of hard-core vegetarians has turned out to be a minimal 7.6 percent, with 92.4 percent being non-vegetarians, according to a survey by the Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corp. on 5,510 adult respondents.
The survey was delegated by local pollster Global Research based on seven levels of vegetarian practice.
The ‘flexitarians,' or vegetarians who eat meat on occasion, made up 79.7 percent of the population or 333 persons.
The ‘pollos' who eat milk, eggs, fish, and chicken but not beef or pork made up 11% of the population, whereas the 'pescos,' who only consume seafood, comprised 6.2 percent.
In total, flexitarians, pollos, and pescanos accounted for 96.9 percent of the population.
Only 3.1 percent of vegetarians ate no meat of any kind. That's 0.2 percent of all respondents in the poll.
Only 0.7 percent of the group were classified as ‘lacto-ovos,' those who eat only eggs and milk, while 1.4 percent comprised the ‘ovos,' or egg eaters, who do not consume milk.
Of the respondents, 0.5 percent were made up of persons labeled with the term ‘lactos,' who eat fruits, vegetables, and milk, and another 0.5 percent were vegans,' who only consume vegetables and fruits.
