      They’re pretty shitty vegans

      According to a 2021 study by Easy Reader News, Hawaii ranks as the 4th top vegan state in America, following Nevada, California, and Oregon. The study reveals that Hawaii boasts a vegan population of 622 per 1 million people and is home to 19 vegan restaurants per 1 million residents.

      They might be pretty happy about vegan spam considering they love both.

        Those are really small numbers.

        622/1,000,000 vegans

        If everyone went to a vegan restaurant at the same time there would be 52,631.6 people there.

        Damn. This doesn’t match my experience in Hawaii at all. My in-laws live there, and everytime I visit I sustain my life with fruit and Avacados. I’d kill for some plant based SPAM.

          I thought they were big on pork, much like other pacific island nations. But also with the history of Asian immigrants and agriculture, I would think soy and soy based products would also be readily available.
