A Foolish Take: America's Favorite Meat
When most people think about American food, they think about things like hamburgers and steaks. There's a reason for that.
The grasslands of the Great Plains, combined with an abundance of water, have made the United States a perfect place to raise large livestock. (Thus the millions of buffalo that once roamed the Plains.)
The resulting abundance of meat, which in many parts of the world is harder to come by, has shaped our appetites. Americans consume more beef per capita than any other advanced nation, save Brazil, which is also blessed with abundant grasslands and irrigation.
