Results from Statistics Canada’s recent survey of Canadian
food consumption for 2013 indicate a nearly 10 percent drop in meat consumption
since its 2001 high, and a 1.5 percent decrease from 2012.
While a general decrease was noted across the meat
categories, the greatest decline was seen in pork consumption, with a decrease
of 4.5 percent. Beef consumption dropped 1.5 percent from the previous year.
While consumption of chickens and turkeys remained steady, it too is down from
peak consumption levels in 2008.
Canadians have never been more aware of the impact of their
dietary choices on themselves; the environment; and the animals, who suffer
needlessly for the production of meat, dairy, and eggs. To join the trend, visit

on moving toward a plant-based diet.
