The Global Protein Map: Visualizing the World’s Top Consumers of Meat, Fish, and Cheese

Geography defines dinner. 🌍 We visualized the top global protein consumption nations of the world’s three favorite proteins, and the results show a massive cultural divide.

🥩 Meat: Hong Kong takes the crown (137kg/person), outpacing the US and Australia, while India’s vegetarian culture keeps consumption at just 4kg.

🧀 Cheese: It is strictly a European affair. The top 10 are all European, with Denmark leading at 28.1kg. Meanwhile, Asian superpowers like China and India consume less than a single block of cheddar per person per year.
