                                While pork is the most consumed meat globally, particularly popular in China and Europe, beef holds a firm preference in many Western nations and specific cultures. This diverse preference is shaped by a complex interplay of historical traditions, deeply held religious beliefs, distinct sensory experiences, and nutritional values.
