Yup, I'd agree with your sentiments here...I just got a Christmas ham (which
was cheap anyways) outta the freezer, that will be good for many, many
meals...I generally use meat as an "adjunct" ingredient nowadays, might eat
a nice steak only several times per year...one small pork sirloin roast I
can get a goodly number meals out of, etc....

As I grow older, my appetite is less (though you wouldn't know it from
looking at me, lol...). I eat a big - gish work lunch, primarily brown
rice/veg/small quantity of meat, some days no meat at all. Breakfast is
small, sometimes I do not even eat at night, not that hungry...

The last time I remember peeps being concerned about the price of meat was
in the early 70's, IIRC inflation was high. Even in our rural area, I
remember my mom and others talking about it, we'd eat cheaper cuts instead
of the more expensive...

I don't hear anyone around here complaining about the price of meat. I
don't eat much either so I don't think about it
