    I'm not sure you have something like "bulk barn" over there but they usually sell in grocery stores now.

    I want to give this a shameless bump so any new mers can see this. I joined this small group not long ago and it is still alive!

    *Meat consumption in the US fell by 12.2% from 2007 to the end of 2012
    *Beef consumption in 2012 fell to 57.3 pounds per person, compared to 94.4 pounds per person in 1976
    *The average US consumer ate 14.6 pounds of seafood in 2012, down from 16.5 pounds in 2006, a drop of nearly 14 percent
    *400 million less land animals were raised and killed for food in 2014 than 2007
    *A survey showed 36% of Americans are open to the idea of plant-based eating
    *In a survey of 2,000 US adults, 39% of participants said they ate less beef in 2013 than in 2012
    *The Meatless Monday program is practiced in hundreds of public and private K-12 schools

    I honestly predict that in a few decades almost everyone will be at least flexitarian. The idea that every single meal has to include meat is on the way out, as alternative products become more and more inexpensive and readily available, and more and more people are concerned about their health and the environment. A pretty good model for where I product the meat and seafood industry will be in a few decades is the fur industry. Real fur is still available, but it's VERY controversial and certainly way less common and accepted than it was a few decades ago, due to faux fur being readily available and anti-fur campaigns getting a lot of press attention.
