Claimed by many as a dietary essential, and by some, a delicacy, meat consumption varies tremendously across the world. Meat, the edible flesh of animals consumed by humans, played a significant role in our evolutionary history and has been a key component of human diets since time immemorial. Today, meat consumption speaks volumes about a country's cultural, economic, and sometimes, even political nuances.
Topping the charts is Hong Kong, with 137.08 kg of meat consumed per person. Following Hong Kong, the United States residents report a considerable meat diet too, with a total of 124.11 kg of meat consumption per person. The "Land Down Under," Australia, ranks third, with a per-person meat consumption of 121.61 kg. Australian cuisine is a fusion of indigenous, British, and Mediterranean influences, amplifying their consumption of various kinds of meat. South American nation Argentina, despite being an emerging economy, holds the fourth spot driven by their cultural significance of meat, particularly beef, leading to a high consumption rate of 109.39 kg per person. The other countries that complete the top ten list include New Zealand (100.9 kg), Spain (100.26 kg), Israel (97.02 kg), Samoa (96.68 kg), Portugal (94.07 kg), and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (91.05 kg).
