Why Meat Consumption is Falling in the US

Interestingly, the numbers and headlines aren’t being driven by an influx of new vegetarians and vegans.

Put another way, while Americans may not exactly be turning to vegetarianism in droves, tens of millions of people are deciding that the American diet need not be so heavy in animal products.
