I'm suspecting that this is not all that different from a "Countries that Eat the Least FOOD" (not by choice, of course) quiz.

That probably holds true for most of the quiz, but there are certainly other things at play. South Asia (India in particular) has a very high percentage of vegans.

Small correction. A very high percentage of vegetarians, not vegans. Dairy is a big part of diet and culture here.

Also even among those who consume meat (and this is what I have heard also from Pakistani acquaintances, who all eat meat), it is not consumed on a daily basis

I would be very interested to know which ones are due to poverty and which ones due to cultural/gastronomic preferences.

don't think except India and Nepal any country in the list is due to dietary preference

Huh, I've always been under the impression that Pakistan was a meat-eating nation. It might just be they have that reputation because they eat significantly more meat than most of their South Asian neighbors. Either way though, it's interesting to see that their poultry consumption has risen by 2,771%!

Old joke (predating the Arab Spring):

Al Jazeera commissioned a poll, asking citizens of Egypt, Somalia and Syria "What's your opinion of meat for lunch?"

The Egyptian responded "What's meat?"

The Somali responded "What's lunch?"

The Syrian responded "What's an opinion?"

I suspect that none of the countries on this quiz have the capacity to collect reliable data regarding meat consumption.

Woah, almost got 20/20 - just finished typing Lesotho right as the time ran out but I guess it was a tenth of a second too late because it didn't register before ending

Coming from Iraq I can tell you that Iraqis eat tons of meat, almost with every meal. I don't know where they get these statistics from.
