    This is the result with my wife and I. Before I was pushing us to eat less beef for environmental reasons but years ago the price went up enough that its essentially a special occasion thing and fast food went out the window with their prices getting to high. What stinks is pork is something I wanted to eliminate but its cost vs quality tends to beat out all other meats except maybe the five dollar costco chickens.

      Damn, it’s the same exact thing at my house, I could have written this. Beef is absolutely a special occasion thing at my house, I now cook it maybe twice a year. I really dislike pork for various reasons, but chicken prices have gone up a lot too. I just can’t do the pork though, sometimes I’ll get sausage(s) when the local maker has them on sale, but thats it.

      I’ve been preparing a lot more bean dishes this last year or so, often times I won’t have meat so my husband and son can have it and it stretches further.

      Beef is so resource intensive to produce, I’m not actually that upset its gotten so expensive, it probably should be expensive. So a beef dish feel special when we have do have it.

        That last paragraph real rings with me to. Im not a good cook and my wife does that is a bit more meat centric than I. My dream would be a lacto/ovo frutarian but Im not sure I could do it even if I was rich with a highly skilled personal chef.
