Which countries eat the most red meat?

Earlier this week, a report commissioned by the World Health Organisation found that eating processed meat like ham and bacon increases the risk of colon cancer while consuming other red meats "probably" makes the risk higher as well. So which countries actually eat the most red meat? Statista made an infographic using OECD data for the i100 to illustrate the world's red meat lovers.
