A government study is reporting that one in 200 kids is a vegetarian. Some surveys suggest that that number is four to six times higher among the older teens who have a little more control over what they can eat.
No one can definitively say the reason why kids are going vegetarian, but the consensus is that they are doing it for animal welfare, not for health. There are a lot of YouTube videos showing the inhumane treatment of factory farm animals and the actual slaughtering process, and that may be turning kids away from eating meat.
