Why can't ordinary Chinese people afford to eat beef and mutton, only pork?
譯文簡介
網(wǎng)友：為什么中國人豬肉吃得多？這只是因?yàn)樨i肉的生產(chǎn)成本低，價(jià)格相對便宜。
錯(cuò)誤成見：中國人比大多數(shù)國家更喜歡吃豬肉。
真相：在很多歐洲國家，人們也巨愛吃豬肉

記住，中國是一個(gè)非常大的國家。
歐洲一共能有多少不同的菜系呢？
Why do Chinese people eat a lot of pork? It's just because the production cost of pork is low and the price is relatively cheap.
Wrong stereotype: Chinese eat (like) pork more than most other countries.
Fact: The love of pork in many European countries is unparalleled.
On the leaderboard, you can’t see Asian countries at all, all in Europe.
為什么中國人豬肉吃得多？這只是因?yàn)樨i肉的生產(chǎn)成本低，價(jià)格相對便宜。
錯(cuò)誤成見：中國人比大多數(shù)國家更喜歡吃豬肉。
真相：在很多歐洲國家，人們也巨愛吃豬肉。
在這份排行榜上，全是歐洲國家，壓根找不到亞洲國家。
Pork is not special in China:
Chinese not only consume the most pork but also consume the most sheep meat, fish, poultry, eggs, vegetables, fruits, rice, wheat, beans, potatoes, apples, watermelons, tea leaves, peppers, etc.
中國人特別喜歡吃豬肉嗎？
豬肉在中國就是普普通通的東西。
中國人不僅消費(fèi)了最多的豬肉，而且也消費(fèi)了最多的羊肉、魚、家禽、雞蛋、蔬菜、水果、大米、小麥、豆類、土豆、蘋果、西瓜、茶葉、辣椒等。
Population size: China has 1.383 billion people.
Population of China (13.8)> Total Population of Developed Countries (12.1)
這要?dú)w因于中國的人口規(guī)模。
人口規(guī)模：中國有13.83億人口。
中國人口(13.8) > 發(fā)達(dá)國家總?cè)丝?12.1)
相似的圖表結(jié)構(gòu)，為什么沒有人說中國人喜歡羊肉、魚、蛋、蔬菜和水果呢？
中國總能在一些與人口相關(guān)的數(shù)據(jù)上排名第一(總數(shù)高，但人均數(shù)少)。
Let’s compare four types of protein:
beef, pork, fish, and birds (chicken, duck, and goose)
讓我們來對比一下四種蛋白質(zhì)：
牛肉、豬肉、魚和禽類(雞、鴨和鵝)
There are several reasons why pork is more commonly consumed in China than beef and mutton. One reason is that pork is typically less expensive than beef and mutton, as pigs are easier to raise and have a shorter life cycle than cows and sheep. Additionally, pork has a long history of being a staple in Chinese cuisine, and there are many traditional dishes that feature pork as the main ingredient. Additionally, there is a cultural preference for pork as it is seen as a symbol of wealth and prosperity. Another reason is that China has a large population and relatively limited land resources. Pork is more efficient to produce than beef and mutton, as pigs can be raised in smaller spaces and fed with food waste. Beef and mutton production, on the other hand, requires more land and resources. As a result, pork is more accessible and affordable for the average Chinese person.
在中國，豬肉比牛肉和羊肉更受歡迎，有以下幾個(gè)原因：一是豬肉比牛肉和羊肉便宜，因?yàn)樨i更易飼養(yǎng)，生長周期更短。
此外，豬肉作為中餐的主要肉食品種，有著悠久的歷史，許多傳統(tǒng)菜肴都以豬肉為主要原料。
此外，有的文化偏愛豬肉，因?yàn)樨i被視為財(cái)富和成功的象征。
另一個(gè)原因是中國人口眾多，土地資源相對有限。
豬的飼養(yǎng)空間要求低，可以用廚余剩菜來喂養(yǎng)，所以豬肉比牛肉和羊肉的飼養(yǎng)效率更高。
另一方面，牛羊肉的生產(chǎn)需要的土地和資源更多。
所以對于普通中國人來說，豬肉更容易買到，也更實(shí)惠。
Chinese are generally lactose intolerant. That will reduce the utility of raising cattle and raising cost for its consumption.
Many Chinese are vegetarian and some for religious reasons. China imports lot of beef too, ask the Australians, they know.
中國人大多都有乳糖不耐受的問題，因此養(yǎng)牛的用處偏少，提高了消費(fèi)成本。
很多中國人是素食主義者，有些是出于宗教原因吃素。但中國也進(jìn)口了很多牛肉，可以問問澳大利亞人，他們很清楚這一點(diǎn)。
I have become friends here on the west coast with some recent Chinese immigrants they often invite me over for dinner, and, they almost always prepare mutton with hot spicy peppers!
I was confused by this being their from China" Hot spicy mutton?? But, they said this is the main dish in their hometown!
我住在西海岸，認(rèn)識了一些中國來的新移民朋友，他們經(jīng)常邀請我去家里吃飯，而且他們幾乎每次都會準(zhǔn)備麻辣羊肉！
我不理解，他們中國人也吃“麻辣羊肉”？但是，他們說這是他們家鄉(xiāng)的一道硬菜！
I never really even liked lamb until I eat theirs!
所以，很顯然，中國有些地區(qū)也不是只吃豬肉的！
我以前不喜歡吃羊肉，直到我品嘗了中國朋友的手藝這才愿意吃羊肉！
What are ordinary Chinese? The cuisine that the people eat has been based on the region of China. Most of the Chinese cuisine I am familiar with is Cantonese, Hunan, and Sichuan which are in the South East. In the regions like Outer Mongolia meat is more prent than in the south east. In fact China produces more beef than the entire European unx, and is number three behind the United States and Brazil. It is the number 2 country in beef consumption after the United States and ahead of the entire European unx. In 2019 Chinese ate about 5.8 kg per person, which is about half of the Untied States.
什么樣的才算普通中國人呢？中國不同地區(qū)的人有著不同的菜系。我最熟悉的中國菜是粵菜、湘菜和川菜。在外蒙古這種地方，肉食比例要高于東南地區(qū)。
事實(shí)上，中國的牛肉產(chǎn)量超過了整個(gè)歐盟的總和，僅排在美國和巴西之后，位居世界第三。
中國也是牛肉消費(fèi)量僅次于美國的第二大國家，領(lǐng)先于整個(gè)歐盟。中國人人均食用牛肉約5.8公斤，約為美國的一半。

Cows were massively used in agriculture. They were used to drag different gears and machines. Killing cows is really not a smart decision overall. It is like lighting your car on fire to make a bonfire. As a result, beef eating isn’t really thing in both China and Japan until mordern era.
牛肉：
農(nóng)業(yè)生產(chǎn)中會用到很多牛。人們用牛來拉各種裝備和機(jī)械。總的來說，殺牛吃肉真的不是明智的決定。就好比燒自家的汽車來生火一樣。所以直到現(xiàn)代，中國和日本才真正開始食用牛肉。
Pigs are easy to raise. They basically eat anything. You can feed them vegetables, meat, wild plants, and a human foot. They will eat it. And nowadays, you can raise a pig to 200 pounds in half a year easily. Easy job.
豬肉：
豬很容易飼養(yǎng)，基本上什么都吃。不管你喂它們吃的是蔬菜、肉還是野生植物，它們都不挑?，F(xiàn)在，只需半年，就可以把一頭豬養(yǎng)到200磅。這是一件輕輕松松的事。
Only if you have large rivers, ponds around or you live next to sea, you can then develop your fishing industry. That means it is heavily dependent on climate and geography.
魚類：
如果臨近大河、池塘或海邊，就能發(fā)展?jié)O業(yè)。所以這意味著漁業(yè)嚴(yán)重依賴于氣候條件和地理位置。
Before mordern industry is involved in agriculture, birds grow slowly. Why?
Chicken only eat plants；
ducks need water;
and goose, the hardest to raise, needs grass.
禽類：
在農(nóng)業(yè)開始現(xiàn)代化之前，禽類的生長十分緩慢。為什么？
雞只吃植物；
鴨子需要水；
而最難養(yǎng)的鵝，需要草。
What’s more is that they all grow slower than pigs. Geese can be around 15 pounds, ducks are smaller, and chicken are smallest.
禽類幼崽很難養(yǎng)活。它們很容易受到野生動物的傷害。狗、狐貍或大多數(shù)野生哺乳動物都能傷害雞和鴨，鵝比較強(qiáng)壯。
更重要的是，它們長得比豬慢。鵝最大也只能長到大約15磅重，鴨子小一點(diǎn)，雞最小。
But I am not saying they are worthless. Birds cam have eggs regularly. That is their strongest advantage. Eggs are nutritious, easy to store, and most importantly, they come fast. That makes chicken one of the most important animals in human history.
禽類提供的能量也更少，因?yàn)樗鼈兌际前兹?，脂肪含量比紅肉少。
但我并不認(rèn)為它們毫無價(jià)值。禽類可以定期下蛋，這就是它們最大的優(yōu)勢。雞蛋營養(yǎng)豐富，易于儲存，最重要的是，它們來得很快。所以雞就成了人類歷史上最重要的動物之一。
So pigs are easier raise. They eat a lot. They grow fast. They eat everything. Their meat has lots of fat, which provides lots of energy. They are of course loved by agricultural countries like China and Japan.
但總體而言
豬更容易飼養(yǎng)，它們吃得很多，長得很快，而且什么都吃。豬肉含有大量的脂肪，可以提供充足的能量。所以豬肉當(dāng)然受到了中國和日本等農(nóng)業(yè)國家的喜愛。
In addition to the excellent answer by JC Hou, I would like to add a few more points.
1.Pig is a traditional animal which has been raised for meat for thousands of generations by the Chinese. Even the Chinese character ‘family’ 家 has a pig symbol.
3.With the influence of European cultural standard, eating dogs is now seen as ‘a(chǎn)bnormal’ and eating beef is now seen as ‘normal’ but in ancient China, the reverse is true. Eating beef is still not accepted.
除了JC Hou的精彩回答之外，我還想再補(bǔ)充幾點(diǎn)：
1.豬是一種傳統(tǒng)的家畜，已經(jīng)被中國人飼養(yǎng)了幾千代。漢字的“家”就包含了象征“豬”的部首。
2.中國人在傳統(tǒng)上不吃牛肉，因?yàn)樗麄冋J(rèn)為牛是在田地里辛勞工作的動物；中國人也不吃馬肉，因?yàn)樗麄儼疡R當(dāng)做運(yùn)輸工具，就像歐洲人把貓和狗視為寵物，所以不吃它們一樣。
3.受歐洲文化的影響，現(xiàn)在吃狗肉被視為“不正?！钡男袨?，但吃牛肉已被人們接受了。但在古代中國，情況正好和現(xiàn)在相反。在某些人群中，吃牛肉仍然是不被接受的。

Not true. Italians eat a lot of pork, especially cured pork. English eat a lot of sausages. Americans, of course bacon and ham. South Americans and Spanish, a lot of pulled pork and Asado Puerco. Everywhere in the world, pork is eaten a lot. Why? Easy to raise and nutritious.
這并非事實(shí)。意大利人也愛吃豬肉，尤其是腌豬肉。英國人愛吃香腸。美國人愛吃培根和火腿。南美人和西班牙人喜歡手撕豬肉和烤肉。世界各地的人們都吃豬肉。為什么呢？因?yàn)樨i易于飼養(yǎng)，豬肉營養(yǎng)豐富。
The most popular reason for pork is that it's best to cook.
Mutton and beef have a strong smell.
Chicken lacks aroma.
It needs better technology to make it delicious.
Pork tastes best after heating and is the easiest to handle.
最普遍的理由是豬肉最適合烹飪。
羊肉和牛肉的氣味很重。
雞肉不夠香。
需要更好的技術(shù)來增添風(fēng)味。
豬肉加熱后味道最好，也最容易烹飪。
和其他國家相比，為什么豬肉在中國如此受歡迎？
1.Less saturated: Compared to some other meats like beef and mutton, pork has lesser amount of saturated fat. Contrary to the popular belief, pork is actually less fattening than beef and mutton.
2.Versatile: Pork could be cooked in many ways, there are about more than 100 Chinese pork recipes as what I recalled.
3.Easy to cultivate: Pigs are easier to cultivate in the agricultural country like China. Southern part of China is the most ideal place for pig cultivation.
But then again, pork isn’t the only meat which is popular in China. Other meats like beef and mutton are also popular in China, although beef and mutton are more popular at the northern part of China and the western part of China.
因?yàn)樨i肉是中國人喜愛的肉類品種，中國人真的很喜歡吃豬肉。中國人愛吃豬肉是有原因的：
1.飽和脂肪含量較低：與牛肉和羊肉等其他肉類相比，豬肉的飽和脂肪含量較低。和普遍的看法相反，豬肉其實(shí)比牛肉和羊肉更不容易讓人發(fā)胖。
2.用途廣：豬肉的烹飪方法有很多種，據(jù)我回憶，中餐中使用到豬肉的食譜大約有100多種。
3.容易飼養(yǎng)：在中國這樣的農(nóng)業(yè)國家，豬更易于飼養(yǎng)。中國南方是最理想的養(yǎng)豬地區(qū)。
不過話說回來，豬肉并不是在中國唯一受歡迎的肉類。其他肉類如牛肉和羊肉在中國也很受歡迎，不過牛肉和羊肉在中國北部和西部地區(qū)更受歡迎。
If the proportion of French plains in the total land area educed to almost the same as China, French people may like eating pork as well as beef and mutton, just like the Germans.
如果法國平原占國土總面積的比例降到和中國差不多，法國人可能會像德國人一樣，除了牛羊肉，也會喜歡吃豬肉。
Yes, beef is a tad more expensive than pork.
But I earn enough such that that small price difference means little to me.
I don’t eat beef and mutton for the simple reason that I rarely ate beef and mutton while growing up.
My parents were in charge of meal planning.
In 100 meals, there might have been maybe 5 of those meals that featured a bit of beef.
In 100 meals, there were 0 meals with mutton/lamb.
So when I struck out on my own, I just never cooked beef or mutton/lamb.
And I almost never order it, at least for myself, when dining out with friends.
This is a common take-away/take-out meal if I’m too busy to rustle up my own meal.
Pork and chicken (and always that one stem of green veg…)
About a month back, a friend of mine told me she was headed back to her hometown in Xinjiang for the long weekend. She invited me to join her and I happily accepted.
We had 架子肉 (shelf meat?) for dinner.
To me, I could only handle like one piece before calling it quits.
And that was me taking the smallest piece.
My friend had to take some of it back to her family.
Which her family was thrilled with, of course.
They grew up eating a lot of beef and lamb, so for them, what we brought back with us was barely a snack.
All gone within minutes.
我是一個(gè)普通的中國人。
是的，牛肉比豬肉貴一點(diǎn)。
但我賺的錢足夠多，所以微小的價(jià)格差異對我來說意義不大。
我不吃牛羊肉，原因很簡單，我從小到大很少吃牛羊肉/羔羊肉。
我的父母負(fù)責(zé)做飯。
在 100 頓飯菜中，可能有 5 頓飯菜含有一點(diǎn)牛肉。
100 餐中，有 0 餐含有羊肉/羔羊肉。
所以當(dāng)我自己創(chuàng)業(yè)時(shí)，我從來不煮牛肉或羊肉。
我?guī)缀鯊牟稽c(diǎn)這道菜，至少是為我自己。當(dāng)我和朋友出去吃飯時(shí)，
如果我太忙而無法自己做飯，這是一種常見的外賣/外賣餐。
豬肉和雞肉（總是那一根綠色蔬菜......）
大約一個(gè)月前，我的一個(gè)朋友告訴我她要回新疆老家過長周末。她邀請我和她一起去，我很高興地接受了。
我們晚餐吃了架子肉。
它基本上是烤羊肉掛在……串肉桿子上。
對我來說，在結(jié)束之前我只能做一件事。
那是我拿的最小的一塊。
我的朋友不得不把其中一些帶回給她的家人。
當(dāng)然，她的家人對此感到非常興奮。
他們是吃很多牛羊肉長大的，所以對于他們來說，我們帶回來的東西幾乎算不上是零食。
幾分鐘之內(nèi)就全部消失了。

雖然喝羊奶并不常見，但喝牛奶要常見得多。亞洲人不耐乳糖。
Agree consuming lamb milk (sheep milk) is uncommon, but if you ever get the chance to try sheep's (ewe's) milk cheese, go for it. Delicious.
同意食用羊奶（綿羊奶）并不常見，但如果您有機(jī)會嘗試綿羊（母羊）奶奶酪，那就去吧。很好吃的。
I was always wondering, why sheep milk is hardly consumed anywhere. People drink almost any kind of milk — cow, goat, camel, horse, yak, etc, but not sheep.
The cheese is great, much better than goat cheese, for instance, but what's wrong with the milk?
我一直在想，為什么羊奶幾乎沒有人喝。人們幾乎喝任何種類的奶——牛奶、山羊奶、駱駝奶、馬奶、牦牛奶等等，但不喝綿羊奶。
奶酪很棒，比山羊奶酪好多了，但是牛奶有什么問題嗎?
I think that's why they designed A2 milk as apparently, they removed the part that creates lactose intolerance in people. It would have been nice to know as a kid, but for those of us, Goats milk became the go to milk.
我想這就是他們設(shè)計(jì)A2牛奶的原因，很明顯，他們?nèi)サ袅藢?dǎo)致人們?nèi)樘遣荒桶Y的部分。如果小時(shí)候知道這一點(diǎn)就好了，但對我們這些人來說，羊奶成了最好的選擇。

Agreed, i also love when they fill the meat with garlic it makes the taste so much better
同意，我也喜歡他們在肉里放大蒜，味道好多了
What? I didn’t meet any people who were lactose intolerant until I left Asian.
什么？在我離開亞洲之前，我沒有遇到任何乳糖不耐癥的人。
I love beef and mutton but I can’t eat them every day. Pork and chicken is an everyday meat for me.
我喜歡牛肉和羊肉，但我不能每天都吃。豬肉和雞肉是我每天吃的肉。
Can't eat pork everyday lol cholesterol bruh!
不能天天吃豬肉，哈哈，膽固醇啊，兄弟!
What do you mean? Eating unhealthy meat full of cholesterol isn’t bad for our body
你是什么意思?吃富含膽固醇的不健康肉類對我們的身體沒有壞處？
“unhealthy” is relative. If youre diet is generally bad, and many people’s are, then you will have a higher cholesterol, but that does not necessarily mean that resulted from eating too much cholesterol.
“不健康”是相對的。如果你的飲食總體上不好，很多人都是這樣，那么你的膽固醇就會更高，但這并不一定意味著這是由于攝入過多的膽固醇造成的。
Dietary cholesterol still affects your gut flora and causes all kinds of other issues. It is not a good thing.
飲食中的膽固醇仍然會影響你的腸道菌群，并導(dǎo)致各種其他問題。這不是一件好事。

The Chinese eats what they prefer, and they eats fresh and well, they are healthy and OK
中國人喜歡吃什么就吃什么，他們吃得新鮮又好，他們很健康
Bear in mind China is almost the size of Europe, while it is absolutely true that some area in China rarely eat lamb or beef, most likely you met people from particular area from China. Due to geographical, cultural and many other historical reasons. I can ensure you there are certain parts in China consume beef or lamb on a daily basis.
請記住，中國的面積幾乎和歐洲一樣大，雖然中國有些地區(qū)很少吃羊肉或牛肉，但你很可能會遇到來自中國特定地區(qū)的人。由于地理、文化和許多其他歷史原因。我可以向你保證，在中國，有些地方每天都會吃牛肉或羊肉。
Also, chicken and pork is more eco-friendly than beef. Producing 1 kg of beef requires more feed and more carbon emissions than 1 kg of pork; and chicken is better than pork. so you’re saving the environment :D
I can also add that I live in Norway, and I think my kids are pretty much raised on the same meat ratios as you were in China - mostly pork and chicken. We have a few mutton meals every year because I like it, but I usually also make pork sausages for the kids because they don’t like the taste of lamb.
One thing though, you didn’t mention fish. Is that not something that is commonly eaten in your part of China?
此外，雞肉和豬肉比牛肉更環(huán)保。生產(chǎn)1公斤牛肉比生產(chǎn)1公斤豬肉需要更多的飼料和更多的碳排放;雞肉比豬肉好。所以你是在保護(hù)環(huán)境
我還可以補(bǔ)充一點(diǎn)，我住在挪威，我想我的孩子們和你在中國長大的時(shí)候吃的肉比例差不多——主要是豬肉和雞肉。我們每年都會吃幾頓羊肉，因?yàn)槲蚁矚g羊肉，不過我通常也會給孩子們做豬肉香腸，因?yàn)樗麄儾幌矚g羊肉的味道。
不過有一件事，你沒提到魚。這在你們中國不是很常見嗎?

This is true, at least from my experience. I once regularly ate pork. But after many years of living in the middle east (mostly in saudi arabia, among others), where pork is either downright illegal or very hard to get or gratingly expensive, it just faded away from my mind’s choices. Shopping with a sibling in o canada, she observed that I was not putting any pork products in the cart. This was not deliberate on my part and until she pointed it out, I wasn’t aware of the fact. The (food) choices around you does influence what you are hankering after, even if subtly.
這是真的，至少從我的經(jīng)驗(yàn)來看是這樣。我曾經(jīng)經(jīng)常吃豬肉。但是，在中東(主要是在沙特阿拉伯等地)生活了多年之后，豬肉要么是完全非法的，要么很難買到，要么貴得離譜，它就從我的腦海中消失了。在加拿大和一個(gè)兄弟姐妹購物時(shí)，她注意到我沒有把任何豬肉產(chǎn)品放在購物車?yán)?。這不是我故意的，直到她指出來，我才意識到這個(gè)事實(shí)。你周圍的(食物)選擇確實(shí)會影響你渴望的東西，即使是微妙的。
Beef does require more feed, but the benefit is that we can feed them the waste from processing grains like wheat and even rice. They do eat more, but they are often eating the waste plant matter that humans or other animals can not eat, so beef is not as bad as people think. Its mostly the way its farmed today that is bad for the environment, but that is pretty much everything humans do.
牛肉確實(shí)需要更多的飼料，但好處是我們可以用加工小麥甚至大米等谷物時(shí)產(chǎn)生的廢棄物喂它們。他們確實(shí)吃得更多，但它們經(jīng)常吃的是人類或其他動物不能吃的廢棄物，所以牛肉并不像人們想象的那么糟糕。主要是現(xiàn)在的養(yǎng)殖方式對環(huán)境有害，但這幾乎是人類所能做到的一切。

Where I live in America beef has become a lot more expensive than chicken or pork, and these days I rarely buy it.

I can empathize. I never ate domesticate meats until my father stopped hunting when I was 12. I didn’t like the blandness of domesticated meats (beef, pork, lamb) so I tried to go vegan for a year. That lasted until I was served a properly seasoned T-bone steak.

I know the feeling; I can’t eat mutton or beef either. I’ll eat a tiny bit to be polite, but more will give me stomach cramps. I think it’s because I was vegetarian for so long that I lost the enzyme to digest them. Chicken, fish I can handle, and ostrich which is like a beef but lighter in taste. It’s excellent in a stir fry with greens and onions. No pork for heritage reasons, which lemme tell you is tricky when the rest of the household is Chinese

It’s interesting how the most digestible and desired catfood I buy for my cats is pork-based. They will pass up beef, mutton, and even chicken for the pork one.

有趣的是，我為我的貓購買的最易消化和最理想的貓糧是豬肉。他們會放棄牛肉、羊肉，甚至雞肉，而選擇豬肉。我認(rèn)為大多數(shù)豬肉比其他肉類營養(yǎng)更豐富，而且我的貓發(fā)現(xiàn)它更容易消化。與它們一起吃雞肉類食物時(shí)，發(fā)生嘔吐要少得多。
