What's interesting to me is that overall meat consumption didn't change much during the Great Depression in the 1930s. Pork dipped at one point and was offset by beef rising, but meat was still eaten just as much as in the 1920s.

Also, if you look at the amount of total meat eaten a century ago, it's far less than the amount of total meat eaten today. And with today's understanding of nutrition and the role meat plays in coating our arteries in fat, chicken and turkey consumption has risen, but pork and beef haven't really fallen. We're eating more total meat than ever.
