This video compares meat consumption and mortality in Japan and the USA.
Japan and the United State have similar income levels. (Bar Graph). Page 9 in Livestock's Long Shadow 2006, shows per capita income in Japan and the USA as $27,000 and $36,000 per year respectively. These are figures for 2002.
Yet meat consumption in the United States is almost three times that of Japan. (Bar Graph) 42 vs. 125 kg per year.
