While the demand for non-meat alternatives is growing steadily all over the world, these two specific countries have astounding numbers. According to this poll, almost 1 in 10 Swedes is either vegetarian or vegan, and among young people (ages 18-29) that number is doubled: about 1 in every 5.

These statistics certainly explain why McDonald's has been eager to offer options to this particular market. But Sweden is far from the only country where people are becoming increasingly curious about changing to a non-meat diet, or simply branching out and incorporating meat-free alternatives into their regime.

So now the question we're all wondering is...when will the McVegan make its way to locations near us?
