Canadians eat less meat, says new study
On average, Canadians consume 41 grams of cooked fresh meat, such as beef, pork, lamb and veal, a day – that's about half the size of the palm of your hand. They also consume prepared poultry and prepared red meat in modest amounts – 28 grams a day, which is roughly two slices of deli turkey or ham.
"Canadians are consuming red and prepared meat well within Canada's Food Guide recommendations, and are knowledgeable about the essential nutrients that meat provides," says Chris White, President of the Canadian Meat Council. "Many might be
surprised to know that meat consumption in Canada is similar to that found in Mediterranean countries, places where diets are widely recognized as being amongst the healthiest worldwide," he added.
Additional Statistics Canada data collected through 24-hour dietary recalls shows that Canadians are consuming less than one Food Guide serving of red meat and prepared meat/poultry a day.
