According to a 2024 FAO report, global consumption of aquatic animal foods per capita reached a record high of 20.7 kg in 2022, but is it the most consumed non veg food in the world? While seafood as a category is immense, the title for a single animal protein has changed hands over the past few years.

According to a 2025 Statista report, global meat consumption is projected to grow significantly, with shifts in preference influencing the overall trends. While pork once held the undisputed title, recent years have seen poultry solidify its position as the most eaten meat on the planet.

According to USDA data, the availability of chicken for U.S. consumption surpassed beef in 2010 and has remained the top choice since, providing a clear answer to the question of what is America's favorite meat. This major dietary shift reflects evolving tastes and priorities for consumers across the country.
