Right now I don't know any 90 year old people. If I were to use your line of reasoning, I might think that 90 year olds don't exist.

Here's the likely reason you might know one group and not the other: There are many more omnivores than vegans. I was a vegan for over 6 years before I ever met another vegan in person. So, I don't know any 90 year old vegans either. Vegans of any age are very scarce.

Search: How many of us are vegetarian or vegan.

Answer: 2.5 % of Americans are vegan (as of 2012)
