Australia is the meat-eating capital of the world
Australians are the largest consumers of meat in the entire world – consuming more kilograms per person per year than any other country on Earth. Australia made the jump to the top in 2015, taking the number one spot away from the United States, which had held the honor since 1982.
Australia has always been far above the global average, along with countries like Brazil, the United States, and Hong Kong who also consume much more meat than the global average. For many years, beef has been the most popular meat in Australia, but that was recently surpassed by chicken. On average, Australians consume almost 90 pounds of chicken per person per year.
