is it normal, in the USA, for half of all people to only eat beef once every 8 days?

They also found a demographic correlation, which isn't easily explained by random sampling.

Thats not the implication of 12% of Americans eating 50% of beef by consumed by all Americans that day.

If I had to make up some numbers it’s probably that, on any random day, 12% of Americans ate 50% of the beef (a large burger), 28% of American ate the rest of the beef (bit of lunch meat), and 60% of Americans did not eat any beef.
