At least in London, there has been a big uptick in veganism in the last year or so. Helped by mainstream supermarkets and restuarants adding vegan options en mass.

If you don't buy a lot of ready-made meals you notice that supermarkets have always had plenty of vegetarian and vegan options.

The new thing is the number of ready-made meals that are also vegetarian, and directly from the distributor brand.

And for me the biggest marker is that it's now advertised on the package. Not just the small vegan logo, there is big lettering like "suitable for vegetarians" or "meat-free" or whatever. It must have become a selling point.

London was also the epicentre of Atkins, eating lots of meat at every meal. It can change overnight. You can’t extrapolate from London whimsy to any long term trend.
