Most surprising here, imo, is that only 12% of the population eats more than 4oz. of beef per day. That honestly feels low to me.

You might be one of the 12%.

Running the math on my own habits, I don’t think so, but I just figured some people are enough burgers alone to push the numbers higher than that

I wouldn’t have been surprised to hear that 10% of the population ate a 4oz burger for lunch every single day. Not saying it’s good or not a lot, but just thought more people did it

@idkwhatimdoing @pizzaiolo European here. I doubt if I average more than 4oz of beef per fortnight. And yes, I have the occasional steak.

I think it’s because people also have preferences for other types of meat. E.g. I always prefer chicken, but it’s uncommon here so usually I go with the cheapest option: pork. I’m appalled at how high I’ve let my meat consumption slip, but this paper would still classify me as not excessive beef consumption.
