MEAT AS FOOD
CONSUMPTION IN CANADA. OTTAWA, Canada. The Canadian people consumed more pork in 1937 than beef and veal. In 1937 the consumption of pork was 62.35 pounds per capita and of beef and veal it was 58.89 pounds. The consumption of pork in 1936 was 67.98 pounds per capita and of beef and veal 60.48 pounds. On the whole, therefore, the Canadian people ate less meat last year than they did in the previous year.
The Canadian people use less mutton and lamb than do most of the large countries. The consumption per capita in 1937 was only 6.16 pounds, which was a slight increase over 1936 but was a decrease from 1935 and 1934.
The consumption of hens and chickens was much higher than that of mutton and lamb, being 15.65 pounds per capita, but it was slightly lower than in several preceding years. Turkey was 1.57 pounds, which was just about the average, and duck was 0.28 pounds which was somewhat less than usual. The consumption of goose was 0.65 pounds, also less than the average.
