U.S is #2

in countries that eat the most meat. This is outrageous. I expect you people to step up and get us out of this! Everyone knows second place is really just the first loser.

I'm sorry and ashamed. I've recommitted to carnivorous consumption. By the time I'm done, our lead will be so great you won't believe it and your head will spin!

I don't think the members of this board are part of the problem. It's most likely the granola munchers that read the "Why Meatless Mondays Matter: 10 Recipes to Get You Started" link at the bottom of that page that are skewing the results.

I was thinking that, too.  Glad to get confirmation.  I also suspect that's why Arby's kicked off that commercial promotion.  And James Earl Jones is perfect for the narration.

No shame in being #2 to the Aussies.  At least it isn't the French.

Looking at it shouldn't be to difficult to make up 4 pound average.  I know I do my part as much as I can.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Their web editing/proofing is chronically atrocious. They regularly butcher Opinion pieces from contributors I'm certain know better.

While I know I have been doing my part all along, I've upped my game this week anyway. Ribeye today, ribeye tomorrow, then the menu for my fishing trip next week will be, cowboy steak sandwich at the gas station on the way there Sunday, steak and whiskey for dinner Monday, bacon cheeseburger at the brewpub Tuesday, then a late breakfast of steak and eggs at the gas station on my way home Wednesday. :)

Whatever happened to lamb in this country?

I love chewing up the sliced-up musculature of lamb.  Have to special-order it from the butcher or go to Outback or Luke's (in Wheat Ridge) to get it.

Or a Greek restaurant.

Humph.

Noting wrong with going to Greek restaurants except they can be pricey.

Find your local halal meat shop.  Lamb & goat meat plus pastries that folks with Type 2 Diabeetus should not even look at.

stay safe.

I used to hate lamb because of the smell. I got turned around on it by the bellydancer at a Moroccon restaurant. Now I really like well-prepared lamb. I've had goat before. We once butchered one with some Greek friends of my parents and had a big old Greek hoedown. I really liked the goat as well, as prepared by the Greeks. Other than I was forced to eat a goat testicle as proof of my manhood.

Wouldn't that be the male-hood-ness of the goat?

Did you
a) bite off a hunk
b) have a slice
c) spend the rest of the night rinsing out your mouth with available spirits?

stay safe.

We have wide open spaces in abundance, one big factor we developed the preference for beef over lamb/goat IMO. I'd be happy with more lamb or goat personally, and economy of scale would make it more reasonably priced.

Are you telling me the Aussies have a lack of wide open spaces?

Or are you noting that our wide open spaces are not anywhere near as sparse as the wide open spaces found in most of the rest of the world?
