Perhaps the most popular meat product consumed from Thanksgiving through the Christmas holidays is the turkey. In America there are seventeen turkeys for every man, woman and child. However, based on figures compiled between 1993 – 2013, we are in second place when it comes to human-turkey ratios.

 

Nation Turkeys per person
1) Chile 25.0
2) United States 17.0
3) Portugal 13.0
4) France 10.0
5) Italy 8.0
6) Canada 3.5
7) United Kingdom 3.0
8) Germany 2.5
9) Brazil 2.0
10) Russian Federation 1.5
