In a global scenario where meat consumption reflects not only dietary habits but also levels of development, culture and productive structure, Argentina consolidates itself as one of the major world powers. According to FAO data for 2022, the global ranking of total meat consumption per capita is led by Tonga with 148 kg per person per year, followed by Mongolia (132 kg) and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (124 kg).
In this context, Argentina is in seventh place with 113 kg per capita, equal to Israel and Macau, and surpassing countries such as Australia (112 kg) and Brazil (98.8 kg).In Latin America, the difference is even more marked: Brazil has 98.8 kg, Chile 92.1 kg, Colombia 62.9 kg and Peru 54.3 kg, positioning Argentina as the undisputed regional leader. But the most relevant fact emerges when analyzing the consumption of beef, where Argentina ranks first in the world. According to official government data, per capita consumption went from 48.49 kg in 2024 to 49.92 kg in 2025, implying a growth of 2.94% under Javier Milei's full management. General estimates place consumption between 46 and 49.9 kg per person per year, consolidating an eating pattern that is deeply rooted in society
.
The global beef ranking confirms this leadership: Argentina leads with 46 kg per person, followed by Zimbabwe (44.4 kg), the United States (38 kg), Israel (36.1 kg) and Brazil (
34.6 kg).In this context, the delusional president of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, tried to question Javier Milei on social networks, but ended up generating the opposite effect. It all started when Milei published a message about the financial crisis in New York, targeting the communist Muslim mayor Zohran Mamdani, whom he blamed for the
city's economic collapse.Mamdani had recently announced that New York is facing a “historic” financial crisis, with a massive deficit that leaves the city “bankrupt”. The local administration warned of possible drastic cuts in public services and education in the face of the fall in tax revenues. The mayor himself argued that the deficit cannot be covered by savings alone, which will force the implementation of austerity measures and generate
new revenues.
In this context, Milei recalled her previous warnings with a strong message:
“I remember that when this left-handed man won I anticipated the disaster it would cause. It is more to remember that in TN they brought a left-handed man with curlers who defended him with passion. The psychologist and his left-handed henchmen sided with the left-handed person. Here's the result. ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM. HELLO!” It was then that Petro intervened with a comment addressed to the Argentine president: “Brother Milei, I ask you not to break up Argentina. More fine beef for Argentines.”
The answer soon arrived, but not from the Argentine government, but from the users themselves on social networks, who quickly exposed the inconsistency of Petro's statement.
