That may well be - at least in part - because the stuff is getting outlandishly expensive. If I were feeding a family on a tight budget, beef would certainly not be what's for dinner, you know?
It used to be that beef was comparitively inexpensive, and fish (particularly shellfish) was an expensive luxury meal. The good news is, I now voluntarily eat a more fish and shellfish than I used to. Yay, says my physician and my wallet.
I expect I am not the only one.
I still like my beef, but with what it costs these days, I like a whole lot of other things just as much.
