How Much Meat Do You Eat?

Here’s an interesting articles I found via Slate.com. It is titled: ‘Vegetarian Consumer Trends: Vegetarians and Vegan Consumers’ is Drawn From A Comprehensive Multi-Phase Research Study of Adults in the United States“.

Basically it breaks down the adult U.S. population into several categories based on personal consumption levels of meat. Here are the results:

“U.S. adults according to their current meat consumption habits…:
- Avid meat consumers (14%) - consume meat with “every” meal
- Regular meat consumers (47%) - consume meat with “most” meals
- Moderate meat consumers (25%) - consume meat with “about half” of meals
- Semi-vegetarians (13%) - consume meat with “fewer than half” of meals
- Vegetarians and vegans (1%) - “never” consume meat”

Which category do you fall into? Are you eating more or less meat than you did in the past? Has the rising price of meat affected your eating habits?
