Men prefer meats, women vegetables
The study of eating habits of adults — called the most extensive of its kind — was a telephone survey of 14,000 Americans. It confirmed conventional wisdom that most men eat more meat than women, and women eat more fruits and vegetables.
Comment: Women are also far more likely to practice vegetatarian eating or be vegans than men. This probably relates to our evolutionary roots. Prior to the invention of agriculture, humans were "hunter-gatherers." Men hunted, women gathered.
