Research indicates men in affluent, gender-equal countries consume significantly more meat compared to women, highlighting cultural and economic influences.
- Men generally consume more meat than women, with the gap widening in countries with higher gender equality.
- The trend is more pronounced in wealthier nations such as Germany, Argentina, Poland, and the UK.
- China, India, and Indonesia did not exhibit the same gender disparity in meat consumption.
- Higher levels of gender equality and economic development allow men and women to follow their dietary preferences more freely.
- The study suggests tailored strategies are needed to reduce meat consumption based on gender and economic context.
