liar, liar, pants on fire.
I'll link what you're referring to - https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/meat-supply-per-person
It's the meat supply not consumption :) Very disingenuous to include world average there too. The number is brought down but countries whose main diets are vegetable based.
That's meat supply inside the country, domestic, not including exports.
FAO figures: production + imports − exports (± stock changes) = meat available in the country
Or, if you prefer a Brazilian source, here is one confirming 105kg per person of 'internal availability' inside the country after exports: https://seucreditodigital.com.br/disponibilidade-carnes-bras...
Brazil's 104.6 is what is available after net exports. With exports it's more like 148(!)
And yes of course vegetable based diets are included. That's a perfectly reasonable and in many ways healthier diet, followed by individuals in countries across the world. It makes no sense to exclude it.
am I talking with an LLM?
you don't even acknowledge that you're wrong on your initial response and just pivot to the first thing you could anchor on (vegetarian diets).
There is effectively no practical difference between supply and consumption once you isolate domestic use?
What do you think happens to that supply if it isn't exported? Why do you think they supply that much if no one is eating it?
Maybe this is helpful https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply_and_demand
