i dont know how, but they figured that the average meat eater will eat around 7,000 animals in their lifetime.
something like: 11 cows, 27 pigs, 2,400 chickens, 80 turkeys, 30 sheep and 4,500 fish.
...but those are the boring ones. theres other animals that they left out. for example whatever Hot Dogs are made out of, or the Ribwich, or like whatver is in Bachelor Chow or that time you rode your bike through that field with your mouth open.

How do you know "they" did not take bugs into account?
Either way, only a fool would ride with their mouth open!!!
The average person must sleep with their mouth open because the average person will eat something like 10 spiders while asleep in a lifetime. I guess the spiders climb in to explore a bit then get swallowed!!! At least that's what "they" say!
If "they" used an average of people from all over the world, the average American must consume 14,000 because Americans are horrifically obese and easily eat twice as much as anyone else!!!!!

the article i saw had listed the typical animals, and did not include bugs. which was why i jokingly brought it up. John Silva Photography wrote:

i like to think that if that does actually happen, that other people are eating waaAAaay more spiders, and im eating zero.

I dont know where your negative stereotype for americans is coming from but you can shove that discrimination up your ass. if you care to know for 2020 theres about 15 other countries that have higher obesity rate than the united states.
which has nothing to do with this thread.
its possible to eat many animals and be healthy and in shape.
i'm more curious how many different kinds, as opposed to average total number.
wonder who / where has the most diverse meats?

I've never knowingly eaten a Spider but did smoke one back in the late 1970's.
not sure if that counts...

they have alligator at the state fair every year and every year it looks so GOOD on a stick...but I am always disappointed by it, its always chewy and tough. marinated shark on a stick however is AMAZING and I keep going back for more, its light, flaky, and they marinate it in some sort of lemon garlic sauce and its sooooo good!
the state fair got cancelled this year obviously but thats really the biggest thing I miss. shark!

...but those are the boring ones. Agreed!
In my long-ago Texas Hill Country days I tried to cook both an armadillo and a huge rattlesnake that I'd killed with a rock.
In case you are wondering, my cooking of the rattlesnake taught me to use low heat "next time" so that it's possible to actually CHEW the meat. The armadillo never got to the tasting stage since, during the butchering, I accidentally pierced some kind of musk-gland, rendering the whole thing amazingly stinky!
Shortly after those experiences I went meatless for a number of years .

did alligator taste like chicken? I seem to recall someone giving me elk, but I am not sure. Only lived in Idaho a short time.
I also think I was given some meat from Africa. I remember he killed a rouge Hippo, but I think the meat was something else. I believe the locals ate most of what he shot.
Never had bear. No one ever shot one on any of the bear hunts I have participated in and the only way I would shoot one is if someone else already wounded it. I go bear hinting for the walk in the forest, that's all.
I barely remember the alligator. About all I remember was who gave it to me. I had a pet alligator. Well, it was sort of a pet if a you consider a viscous reptile a pet. Sound more like a exgirlfriend. They made similar hissing noises. I caught it because a friend's fiancee was coming into town from Erie, and it was expected that I would have some kind of wild animal at my place. It was only little, like a 3 footer, but it was big enough to do some damage. Lived in the bathtub for a week or so. It was back when it was first becoming legal to possess them. I never killed one. Gators don't grow well around this neck of the woods.
I had lots of rattlesnake when I lived in Florida until I decided that everyone there want to kill everyone of them- they didn't need me adding on. I would have described the texture of it to be like lobster, and like lobster, it tasted like what you put on. I used garlic salt and butter and it tasted like garlic salt and butter. I have only ever seen two Timber Rattlers in the woods in PA. They are protected. I spent one week in San Diego and saw one rattler there. On the trail down to Black's beach.
There might of been some possum and raccoon when I was young, but I am not sure.

mostly the animals on a pizza and over half of them would be the pepperoni
animal. I've done my best to reduce the amount of meat I consume for many
reasons, but haven't been able to completely. One time I had a coupon for a
foot long chupacabra at Subway, it was really good, but must be a seasonal
menu item as I haven't seen it since.

it is protected in all states, it is sometimes sold on the black market.
it is illegal to possess sasquach, you will be prosecuted by Fish and Game
also The World Weekly News.
although Bat Boy has been taken off the endangered species list,
I wouldn't recommend it.

Yesterday I tried Elephant, Lion, Zebra, Giraffe and what looked like it could have been Sasquatch although it may have been Bear. It came pre-cooked and neatly portioned in the shape of the animal in a box straight from the Circus! I wasn't impressed by any tbh, they pretty much all tasted the same.

Well, technically... we have laws against a lot of things but we don't enforce them.

As for animals tried, besides the usual suspects, the following:
pronghorn antelope
caribou
ferrel pig (much tastier than normal store pork)
goat
Japanese Kobe beef
ostrich
puffer fish
live octopus
shark fin
japanese style lobster (tail raw, claws and organs cooked)
I've lost count of all the raw fish I've had
And in Asia:
dog
donkey
horse
(the above 3, never again)
raw snake
yak

Yeah, and here I sit thinking I need to get the license for this year's bear hunt. Wondering if covid and professional obligations will allow me to go. And thinking back to the very enjoyable few minutes during the hunt 2 years ago when I was standing, deed in a mountain forest of leafless eastern hardwoods, next to a bush with two Ruby Crowned Kinglets. I can't say I had ever seen a pair of them before.

if you fight it to death with your bare hands, do you still need a license?

Ate at a bug buffet in Bangkok once, just put everything on a plate and ate them like Timon and Pumba would. One was a mix of god knows how many bugs but it was great 😋

Man the first thought when I saw this was a few guys I have dated lived to regret it! Sometimes it was a quick death sometimes we lingered way too long and I finally had it. Quite animalistic at times and just like that we ended in a bang. I have been told by my attorney I could take someones head off and they wouldn't know it until they were looking up at their empty neck! As I type this I am thinking my current ¨friend¨ who has been staying with me mostly due to covid and he has no other place to has experienced that a time or two!
