The title feels a bit misleading. Americans are eating less beef because it is more expensive. As a side effect (not a significant motivator in and of itself), this is helping the fight against climate change. The increased price has definitely driven down beef consumption in my house.
- dang 10y agoWe took "helping fight against climate change" out of the title. Normally we'd ask the submitter not to editorialize but I suspect this was just NYT up to its usual title tricks.
- dharmon 10y agoDefinitely. With the recent oversupply of beef (as well as dairy products) and subsequent price drop, I would not be surprised to see this trend reverse.
