Daily chart: who eats the most meat? Pigs are the world’s most consumed animal. Although populous middle-income countries such as China are driving the worldwide demand for meat, it is mainly Western countries who still eat most per person.

Very interesting chart. I knew Argentine’s were the world’s biggest cow-meat consumers, but I never imagined the margin with the second (Australia or Luxembourg?) would be so big.
Note: this data is from 2007 and many argentines feel red meat consumption has decreased since then due to increase in domestic meat prices.
