Century of Meats

This visualization is inspired by an Infographic posted on website New York Times . The data for the same is collected from here. In my visualization i have ignored some text which provides information related to meat consumption during recession, world war, Korean War etc. This provides the readers with additional context. It is a bit tedious to do this in R and hence readers can add text elements to the plot using inkscape, pain or illustrator.

Readers interested in replicating or using the data can save some time by downloading the file from here .
