Trochę o konsumpcji mięsa

Artykuł w The Guardian:
Meat consumption per capita

Ciekawsze:
Links between meat consumption and climate change have been widely known for many years

Niestety:
Between 1961 and 2002, meat consumption has seen a large increase virtually worldwide and a corresponding jump in its environmental impact

To już znamy dobrze:
Links between meat consumption and climate change have been widely known for many years, partly due to deforestation in the Amazon rainforest to make room for the livestock. Clearing these forests is estimated to produce a staggering 17% of global greenhouse gas emissions, more than the entire transport sector.

Back in 1961, the Chinese consumed a mere 3.6kg per person, while in 2002 they reached 52.4kg each; half of the world's pork is now consumed in China.

The US and the UK are among the few countries whose meat consumption levels have remained relatively stable.

Kolega Filip Barche opowiadał mi jak dużo mięsa je się w Danii, i rzeczywiście:
Surprisingly, it is not the US with the largest consumption (124.8), but Denmark with a shocking 145.9kg per person in 2002.

W Polsce: 78,1 kg na osobę. Indie: 5,2 kg.
