Interesting that the article thinks 50 to 65 is the boomer generation. Poor Gen X will be forgotten until they are no more.
I’m definitely represented in this article. I basically don’t buy beef anymore despite being raised with it was the centerpiece of my diet.
I’ve learned to embrace plant-based alternatives generally find them as enjoyable if not more so than beef.
I think of Gen X as people born in the 70s or late 60s, so that age range is pretty much split between X and Boomers imo. They also mention later on that both generations are responsible for similar rates of meat consumption
That’s totally fair and it’s a great article, it just made me laugh. Thanks for sharing.
Just in time for alt-meats to become cost-comparable and palatable enough to compete I’m genX, voting with my dollars for that, despite beef being so delicious
The only reason plant based meats haven’t been way cheaper than animal meat the entire time is because of how heavily subsidized the animal agriculture industry is. Without the government literally single handedly propping up the industry it wouldn’t be a viable way to make money.
We buy beef like twice a month. Just trying to maintain a healthier diet.
I guess beef isn’t what’s for dinner.
This is ludicrous, especially in the US. Demand has skyrocketted, processing is at all time highs, and prices are reflecting this.
I think someone is smelling their own farts.
Demand is up because population is up. Per capita consumption is down, per the article that part doesn’t seem to be disputed
