Casey Affleck told USA Today he has plans to open a restaurant in Los Angeles.

The vegan of 12 years joked that if you order a meat dish in front of him, he’ll “think so much less of you.”

Seen here is a video Affleck recorded explaining why he went vegan.  He explains that although it was hard finding suitable food and clothing over a decade ago, so much has changed now. Could this be due to an increase in the demand for vegetarian products?

A report in 2003 by Natural Foods Merchandiser revealed sales of vegetarian products increased by 20 to 40 percent annually over a period of 5 years. In 1996, U.S. sales of vegetarian foods were $3.1 million. By 2001, those sales were $1.25 billion!
