Bangladeshis eat least meat per capita on earth

[Soulspeek]

I am surprised why Pakistan is not in the list of voracious meat eaters. They Love meat in everything... Aaloo-gosht, gobhi-gosht, daal-gosht, shaljam-gosht, chana-gosht....heck..they prefix gosht in every dish!!

 

[Talwar e Pakistan]

Just came back from a 2 week visit to Pakistan and I feel sick eating meat everywhere, when i requested a vegetarian dish to my mom the best they could offer was Loky and Ghosht. People there eat sickening amount of meat

It's the way they make it... the amount of oil is just sickening. Our diet isnt really healthy at all.

Your sea food consumption would adequately compensate the protein intake, I don't see any reason to be offended by these stats, They seem to be fair imo.. Meat consumption comes with geographical and cultural reasons as well

True,our 56 percent animal protein intake comes from fish.Per capita fish consumption is 19 kg which is comparable to many developed countries.

Exactly.. I don't understand why some people get so easily offended even by fair facts, Sea food is rich in Omega fats.. Probably the reason for Bengali's to be considered intelligent,creative and artistic people

Everything doesn't have to be about brawn

Intake of Protein is the crucial nutritional factor, be their consumption through vegetables,fish, red or white lean meat( excluding Pork for muslims), in fact Jackfruit has almost equivalent levels as Beef, while seafoods i.e, lobsters, squids, oysters, crabs, octopus,etc has more protein than lean meat. Moreover Bangladeshis by race are physically smaller in body size unlike the Western obese counterparts.

Bangladesh has the lowest BMI on earth.

It is certainly not that BD people have lowest BMI. I can see quite a many men and most of the women are short and fat at the waist. Less meat is balanced by more hydrocarbon. This enlarges the waist. Youngsters are getting slim and tall, no doubt.

The govt propaganda machine loudly speaks about self-sufficiency in food. But the price of beef is more than 500 Taka/kg. It means that there is less surplus food for human consumption that can be used as animal feed.

The smell that you are complaining about, significantly reduces,only if you know how to cook them properly, rather the small of a Ram is intolerable.

 

[PakSword]

Don't know about other Pakistanis, I eat meat (mostly mutton) 8 days a week..

Problem is that,we don't import animal feed like many other countries which have large demand of meat but unable to provide from within it's own border.We became reliant on Indian cow which was convenient source just a few years ago but no more.Add to this with illegal money extortion from meat seller and mismanagement which pushed price to Taka 500 per kg.Half of the meat shop has closed in recent months due to over price and subdued demand.But govt. seems to careless in this issue.I can see only long term remedy lies in import of feeds from foreign source and build-up indigenous cattle herd.In short term,mismanagement need to deal with iron hand.

This report is unbelievable to me. Because it shows Indians per capita consuming more meat than Bangladeshis.

Indians are majority vegetarians or vegans......this is a BS report in my opinion.

Get your facts right, Over 70% of Indians are non vegetarians
Although its not consumed frequently for most
