The reality is that the consumption of beef has been declining for the past 20 years. Chicken has dropped sharply in the past five years, pork has shown a slow, steady downturn over the past five years.

Americans still consume 1/6 of the total meat consumed worldwide. Even though americans are less than 1/20th of the total population. The average american eats about 1/2 a pound of meat per day and Americans consumed 12.2% less meat in 2012 than in 2007.
