Due to religious reasons, some people do not eat beef.
Due to price reason, some people will not choose to eat beef.
Due to health reasons, some people do not eat beef.
Due to the strong taste / aroma of beef, some people do not eat beef.
Pollotarians do not eat beef.

So I think chicken is more eaten worldwide among these 2.



A whole chicken can be prepared and cooked and eaten by a family and there is no need for refrigeration unlike beef or other larger animals.Not everyone has refrigerators in their homes and they will buy what they need to cook for the meal or in the winter where they can store it in a cool place, for the day. Plus it is easier to raise chickens in villages and small towns than cows. Beef is much more expensive in most countries than chicken, so I believe it would be chicken...from my experiences and observation in Morocco. Beef is served when there is a guest and they want to cook the nicest meal they can afford. Many families eat chicken several times per week because of the cost and they like it.



One think for sure 1/6 of world is does not eat beef i.e. Indians. Another 1/6 of the world prefers pork to beef. Well, and almost half of the world lives below poverty lines... I can hardly imagine them splashing out on beef if getting clean drinking water is a problem for them.
So, overall, I would have said more chicken is eaten in the world than beef.



chicken....oviously
