Burgers stacked like skyscrapers. Steakhouses were worshipped like temples. Fast food chains have become built into the national identity. But a 2023 study uncovered something even more staggering beneath the surface of America’s meat culture — a shockingly small group of people is responsible for an enormous chunk of the country’s beef consumption.
