Concern for the environment when making dietary choices has grown as the contribution of the food sector to global greenhouse gas emissions becomes more widely known.

I wouldn't have been surprised to hear that 10% of the population ate a 4oz burger for lunch every single day. Not saying it's good or not a lot, but just thought more people did it

Maybe a burger for lunch every single day would put you around that stat line, but ordering out for a burger every day is already egregious in terms of money and health.

I think it's because people also have preferences for other types of meat. E.g. I always prefer chicken, but it's uncommon here so usually I go with the cheapest option: pork. I'm appalled at how high I've let my meat consumption slip, but this paper would still classify me as not excessive beef consumption.
