In 2017(latest data I could find), the US was topping the world's charts on meat consumption per capita.
There is something at least noteworthy about that. The average american eats 40% more meat than the average EU citizen.
Not everything can be so easily brushed away under the guise of human nature.
- Will_Parker 7y agoFair enough, but nothing about eating 50kg of meat per person per year suggests not treating it as primary or essential.
