A large majority of Dutch people (69%) consider themselves to be 'true meat-eaters'. This is evident from a survey carried out by Motivaction on behalf of the Voedingscentrum (Nutrition Centre). More than a quarter (27%) label themselves as flexitarian; they do not eat meat two or more days a week. Only 4% consider themselves vegetarians or vegans.
Three quarters (76%) eat poultry (e.g. chicken) with their hot meal at least once a week and a large majority (68%) eat beef at least once a week. More than half put pork (57%) on their plates at least once a week. Of all meat products, processed meat is the least popular.
To replace meat, people most often choose eggs (33% at least once a week). This is followed by ready-made meat substitutes (28%), legumes (24%) and nuts (16%).
Meat consumption in the Netherlands amounts to almost 36 kg per person per year. Men eat an average of over 800 grams per week and women over 550 grams. Within the five basic food groups, there is room for a maximum of 500 grams of meat per week, of which 300 grams is red meat. Eating more vegetarian food and less animal food is important for our health and the environment, according to the Voedingscentrum.
