    It’s not working and they have cause for concern. Mean consumption is on a downward trend

      Unfortunately, I don’t think that’s true. Here’s some US data I found with one quick search.

      To add to that, as underdeveloped areas become more modern and income levels increase, it tends to follow that meat consumption increases along with it.

      I would be very happy to be proven wrong on this.

        I love eating beef and whatnot, but my body seems to respond better to eating less of that in a given sitting. As someone growing up in the 80s, it seemed like that diet should be a 50/50 mix of beef and spinach…

        I think they are going to have a hard time convincing people to feel crummier… it’s much healthier and cheaper to stick to that old “pack of playing card portion”
