New study: 12% of individuals are responsible for 50% of US beef consumption
Concern for the environment when making dietary choices has grown as the contribution of the food sector to global greenhouse gas emissions becomes more widely known. Understanding the correlates of beef eating could assist in the targeting of campaigns to reduce the consumption of high-impact foods...

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
Dude that's so SO much beef WTF you mean that you're surprised?
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.
