Data from the United Nations shows that China has surpassed the US in the amount of daily dietary protein available to its population – an important indicator of a modern quality of life, and one that some commentators and politicians in the West thought would be impossible to achieve.

According to the latest data from the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), China overtook the US in 2021, reaching a daily supply of 124.61 grams (4.39oz) of protein per capita.

In the same year, Americans had access to 124.33 grams (4.38oz). For comparison, Japan’s daily protein supply per capita was 91.99 grams (3.24oz). It was 108.31 grams (3.82oz) in South Korea, 113.63 grams (4oz) in the United Arab Emirates, and 119.55 grams (4.21oz) in Australia.

Covering 187 countries from 2010 to 2021, the FAO’s food balance sheets measure national supply based on the amount produced plus the quantity imported, giving snapshots of what is potentially available for consumption.

Part of the reason is the demonization of meat in this country.

There’s also the high-fat and high-carb content of fast food.

The Fat isn’t the problem, the carbs are.

But High Fat AND High Carbs are a double whammy.

And all of it was from pork. Let them eat all the pork they want, hope it clogs their arteries.

“And our dear leaders want us to eat bugs.”

And that may well our future, given the GLOBALISTS who run the West. China (and Russia, for that matter), of course, isn’t into that crap, so their people don’t have to worry.

By the way, just who are the ‘good guys’ in Ukraine?

Chinese have also grown much taller in recent years, for the same reason.

News flash. Around here,the average Chinese man eats more than I do. A little adjustment I was forced to make this last few months. Oh well, now I can eat whatever I want,just not very much.

But the Chinese people are also showing that it is possible to increase protein consumption without eating as much meat as the Americans, which also benefits the planet.

“ And all of it was from pork.”

More likely from soy.

Chinese fertility has collapsed.
Their population growth has ended.
