      Found it.

      Papua New Guinea, meanwhile, tops the “other meat” consumption rankings. The country is the largest producer of game meat in the world, due to its mostly rural and indigenous population relying on hunting. One 2023 study found that a sample of villages in the country primarily hunted wild deer and boar for meat, although marsupials like bandicoots, tree-kangaroos, and cuscus were occasionally hunted and consumed as well.

    So I’m not at all surprised the US is near the top in meat consumption. Our diets are very meat heavy, and I’ve recently been trying to cut back a bit. What I am surprised by is that Hong Kong consumes 33% more meat per capita than the US, and that the US is ranked 5 instead of 1 or 2.
