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.

They eat more protein because their population is lopsided towards men.
I eat 3 eggs for breakfast. I’m way ahead by 8:00 a.m.!
Yep. Disgusting how so many people live off of that crap, as well as all the lazy pre-packaged junk from the grocery store. Gross.
Perhaps. But the definition of what is edible protein over there would turn a goats stomach.

And since women are devalued (and aborted) there has been a rise in what one writer called “a multitude of little emperors”. AKA spoiled brats.

To be fair, a generation of spoiled brats aren’t unique to China.
Really, folks. There are a lot of Americans who could stand to eat less protein.
Bats…It’s what’s for dinner.
They also eat more gutter oil than Americans too.
They also eat more food that actually isnt real food, too.
Interesting. The Chinese influence the left wing groups in the West whose holy grail is Green Energy. According to the left wing Climate Change is the biggest threat humans have ever faced. So, no fossil fuels, smaller electric grids and no meat. In the meantime the Chinese make everything that pertains to green products i.e. electric car engines and get to eat meat. HOW STUPID IS THE WEST? Obviously very!
No...I believe Americans need to eat LESS CARBS.
Dog meat, rats, bugs, cats, hearts, lungs and intestines.
let’s also put into perspective, a LOT of Americans are illiterate about food and nutrition. Also addicted to trash carbs and sugar with little impulse control.
Somehow I doubt this very much, the state sponsored Horse Hilary from China makes Russia look like a piker. Protein is a word with a wide variety of substances under its heading and we shouldn’t assume they are talking about meat, poultry and fish.
Fewer carbs.
Yeah...yeah...
Not me. I only eat meat and cheese.
My 2 basic rules about food
1. If its green, its mean
2. If it grows in the grown, it will make you frown
I get my food from the 3 basic food groups
Meat
Cheese
Bacon
