Shocking news out of UCLA: It turns out men like MEAT . . . but the reasons behind it are interesting. Researchers talked to 1,700 people about their meat-eating habits, and found men like meat more than women, because it makes them feel MASCULINE.
There’s a stereotype that meat makes you manly. And it turns out guys eat ALL types of meat more often than women do, including beef, pork, chicken, and even fish. But some meats are manlier than others.
Guys who feel the need to follow traditional gender roles tend to eat a lot of beef and chicken. Fish and pork are seen as less manly. (There’s been a lot of talk recently about how commercials perpetuate the “meat makes you a man” stereotype.)
