Do Americans eat bison?
Yes, there is a market for Bison meat in the USA. However, it is not as common as Domestic cattle meat (beef).
Is bison healthy for you?
Compared to beef, bison meat is significantly lower in fat, so is therefore much healthier for you than beef. Since bison meat is generally from bison farms at which the bison are grass-fed and roam freely, their meat is healthier for the environment than beef (less green-house gas emissions, etc.). Bison and beef are very hard to distinguish between in regard to taste.
Is bison meat cheaper than ground beef?
Definately not, bison is often $2-5 more per pound than the equivalent extra lean ground beef. However the health benefits gained with bison are well worth the money, bison is signifigantly leaner than beef, lower in calories, cholesterol and contains more minerals than beef. Surprisingly extra lean ground bison is even healthier and lower in calories/fat/cholesterol than skinless chicken breasts. I substitute ground beef with bison in all my dishes and most people cannot even tell a taste difference and are very surprised when I tell them how much healthier it is comparitevly.

What is the difference between bison meat and beef?
Bison meat is leaner and better for you than cow meat. It's also much dryer. I'm not sure why this is but it does have a good flavor. A good bison burger can be found at the Native American Museum in Washington, D.C. Beef can be lean as well, especially if it's from cattle grazed on grass. However, it is still not as lean as that from bison. It has a stronger taste than beef, and is healthier because it is more leaner. The "drier" part is merely from the way it's cooked; it shouldn't be cooked like beef, but rather much slower and longer than you would with beef.

Sure is. In many ways its healthier than beef. The North American Plains Indians lived on it for thousands of years, until the white man nearly exterminated them in the late 1800s (the bison, that is, although I guess you could make a case for the North American Plains Indian as well..).
What animals eat bison?
