meat consumption

Meat consumption refers to the amount and frequency of meat, such as beef, pork, poultry, and fish, that people eat. It impacts health, environment, and ethics. Moderating intake can reduce health risks like heart disease, lower environmental footprints by decreasing greenhouse gas emissions and resource use, and address ethical concerns about animal welfare. Cultural preferences, availability, and dietary choices influence how much meat individuals consume. Balancing meat intake with plant-based foods is often recommended for overall well-being and sustainability.
