The most widely consumed type of meat in the world is pork. It is particularly popular in Asia, where countries such as China and Vietnam feature it prominently in their diets. Pork is versatile and can be prepared in various ways, including roasting, grilling, and stir-frying. Additionally, it offers a rich source of protein and can be processed into various products like sausages, bacon, and ham. Cultural and religious factors also influence pork consumption, with Islam and Judaism prohibiting its consumption, which affects its distribution and marketing in certain regions.
