Vegan, not so much. Unless what you mean is that vegans are "well known". Actual vegans are relatively "rare" with respect to the total population. Truth is, I've known alot of vegans, but they don't stay vegan long. 9 months is common. It just gets too hard, socially speaking. But it is true, everyone knows what a vegan is these days, at least generally speaking.
