    Yeah, if you live in the city you pretty much can afford to eat meat on a daily basis. Most people that live in the countryside grow their own chickens, pigs, and so on. They might not be able to buy meat every day based on their income, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t eating meat. They just aren’t buying it. Funnily enough, most Romanians eat meat on a daily basis. Romania has a comparable meat consumption per capita to Estonia, Belgium and Switzerland [1]
