NY Times: We’re Eating Less Meat. Why?
NY Times: We’re Eating Less Meat. Why?
That’s because they can’t afford it when they’re unemployed.
Not this American.
I'm going to say that the single biggest reason is the weak economy.
We don’t really need to eat as much meat as we do and it cost less to eat whole grains, Legumes, beans and veggies.
Still love moo but chicken and fish digest faster and easier.
That is bs. Meat is one of the most important ingredients in a healthy diet.
***Cough***Cough***B**L S**T**!***
“.....as the baby boomers get older, they’ve been eating less meat.)...”
Difficult to chew with what’s left of the ol’ tooth.
Yes! More for me!
They leave out the meat that hunters put on their tables. I’m thinking that with the economy tanking, more people are taking up hunting to feed their families.
There’s meat on the table pretty much every day of the week in this house. The local pizza place that does 2 large cheeses for $10 once in awhile is the only combo-breaker.
Anyone notice that meat prices are almost double what they were when Obama took office????????????? We gotta feed corn to our cars.
Way to bury the lead, there, WAPO...
Buried in the article is the explanation that it’s simple demographics. The baby boom bulge in the population is aging... And as people get more elderly they tend to eat less meat.
I understand donkey roast is very satisfying, especially after it has been fed crow.
>> NYT: Why?
Obamanomics, that’s why. What’s the cost of chop meat these days $7/lb?
What to do with my “canine” teeth? have them filed off?
Did not the father of the prodigal son call to slaughter the fatted beef?
Or did Moses lead Israel to the land of soy milk and Nutrasweet?
(1 Tim 4:1-4 KJV) “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:”
Need say more?
That graph seems to contradict much of the article. It shows a decline in in beef consumption, but what looks like a doubling in turkey... And a huge increase in “broilers” (chicken?), with pork holding pretty steady.
I’m a dedicated carnivore but it’s true our consumption has declined a bit.
The truth is that “fryer parts” chicken is tasteless and full of various chemicals like antibiotics, hormones etc so I won’t touch it except for the *very* occasional KFC !
A lot of beef is pretty tasteless too unless you buy the top grade which gets expensive. Sam’s steaks are good here but WalMart’s are horrible. We’re lucky to have a real butcher close by for special occasions. We do use a fair bit of hamburger beef, for that and tacos :)
They are being indoctrinated in the marxist school system enabled by Goals 2000 and the Education establishment that they should only eat gruel, like good serfs.
