asks participants to recall what they ate in the past 24 hours. Rose and his team used this information to calculate how much beef people ate on a given day. They found that 45 per cent of participants ate none, whereas about 12 per cent ate more than four ounces per 2200 calories a day. These heavy beef eaters accounted for about half of the country’s beef consumption on a given day.

Ummm isn't this incredibly bad logic?

That journal reference sends me to a site where it can't be found to.
