Nearly one-third of Americans (28.6 percent) are considering serving a meatless meal this Thanksgiving, according to data collected by market research firm Dynata on behalf of vegan brand The Meatless Farm.

根据纯素品牌公司“无肉农场”（The Meatless Farm）委托市场调研公司“Dynata”收集的数据，有将近三分之一（28.6%）的美国人打算今年感恩节享用无肉素餐。

Dynata surveyed a representative sample of 1,050 Americans about their eating habits this Thanksgiving. The data uncovered that younger generations are more inclined to break with tradition, with 44 percent of those aged 18 to 24 and 45 percent of those aged 25 to 34 responding that they open to serving a meat-free Thanksgiving. Personal health was the leading driver for 60 percent of the respondents to go meat-free—a factor that becomes more important with age.

针对由1,050名美国人组成的代表性样本，Dynata公司调查了他们今年感恩节的饮食习惯。调查数据发现，比较年轻的几代人更倾向于移风易俗：44%的18-24岁人员和45%的25-34岁人员均表示乐意接受无肉感恩节。个人健康是促使60%的调查对象采纳无肉饮食的首要动因──这个因素的分量随着调查对象年龄的上升而加大。

“Being mindful of how we live and eat has become a priority in today’s world and the numbers reveal a huge shift towards plant-based eating in the US,” Kasper Vesth, General Manager of The Meatless Farm in North America, said. “Small changes can have a big impact and it’s great to see that so many meat-eating Americans are taking action. If people switched even just one meal a week to meatless, they could make a big difference.” 

“在当今世界，关注我们的饮食和生活方式已经成为了一项优先事项。那些统计数字揭示了美国人民走向植物性饮食的巨大转变，”无肉农场公司的北美总经理卡斯珀·维斯特（Kasper Vesth）说道。“微小的改变也能够产生巨大的影响。美国有如此多的肉食者正在付诸行动，这是一个非常好的现象。即使人们每周有一顿饭改为无肉饮食，也可以发挥很大的作用。”

The Meatless Farm launched its first vegan meat products in 2018 in the United Kingdom before expanding to the United States earlier this year.

2018年，无肉农场公司在英国推出其首批纯素肉制品。今年早些时候，该公司将经营业务扩张到了美国。
