The line graph below illustrates changes in the annual consumption of meat products (beef, pork, broilers, and turkey) in the U.S. between 1955 and 2012.
It is noticeable that the consumption of beef has been far more popular over the 57-year period. It is also noticeable that there has been a considerable rise in the consumption of broilers, with figures eventually surpassing those of beef. Between 1955 and 1967, beef consumption increased significantly and reached an annual peak of 90 pounds per person. During that same period, the per person annual consumption of broilers rose from 15 to 30 pounds.
In contrast, the consumption of pork and turkey remained somewhat stable, with slight fluctuations. According to the graph, turkey consumption was by far the least popular meat, with figures below 10 pounds per person annually.
In recent years, leading up to 2012, the annual consumption of beef for the average American plummeted to around 50 pounds, while the annual per person consumption of broilers doubled since the 1970’s, to approximately 55 pounds. In contrast, turkey and pork show no significate changes over the reporting period.
