These countries eat the most meat, and the US isn't No. 1
Increasing meat consumption across the globe is linked to urbanization, a trend that is resulting in changing lifestyles and consumer habits.
The following table is created using 2013 OECD data on kilograms of meat consumed per person. The figures include values for beef and veal, poultry, pork and sheep.
Australia tops the list, with each resident consuming on average nearly 100kg of meat a year - or around 250g a day. Second place goes to the United States, despite a very low value for sheep meat; they eat, on average, 8.5kg less than Australians.

This data is taken from the OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook 2014. Meat consumption per capita is based on kilograms of retail weight, the weight at which the meat is sold.
