Americans eat a lot of beef and chicken compared to Europeans who eat way more pork than either of those. And there's good reason for this: `The best beef in the world comes from places with large open areas. USA/Canada, Australia, Argentina, Brazil. Having large and flat areas with varied vegetation allows the cows to develop properly. As well as providing the land to grow feed. By contrast, the smaller and often hillier farms in Europe produce a leaner and more muscular cow. Which influences what breeds are raised and used for meat or milk, as well as being subject to each country’s agricultural laws.` And the US eats about as much chicken as Spain eats pork, but for beef they're more like in Serbia's position. If Europe had as much flat, fertile land as the US, or were geographically closer to the above-mentioned places, Europeans would certainly be eating more beef and chicken. Spain, Portugal, Iceland and Poland really aren't that far off from the US in consumption.
