I had good friends to ply me with cheese and avocado. I still like meat but can eat it less frequently and with smaller portions.
But one of my dark secrets is patience. In the 70s, mom tried to quit red meat cold-turkey and didn't last one menstrual cycle, and I learned it's consistent among most women, that they are one period away from running down an elk in the woods in bloodlust.
So I'm only ever a week at most before someone nearby goes STEAK! TODAY! and we're feasting once again on the fresh, sautéd flesh of dead animals.
I have high hopes for cultured meat (lab-grown chicken is on the verge of hitting the restaurant supply market) which will serve the cruelty factor. Nutrition balancing is a whole 'nother matter.
This is a weird comment.
I get that a lot.
Nah, I am a woman and stopped eating meat when I was 9 years old. I still got my periods in puberty and still have them regularly so that sadly did not work out for me.
I've never heard of periods ceasing due to a lack of red meat, though yes, I'd imagine that would be a great incentive.
Only that among women in my close proximity (close enough that I could glean their cycles) that a lot of them would have ferocious meat cravings once a month that enabled my own red meat habits, so that even when beef prices jumped, and we had economic reasons to cut down, meat would be on the menu again.
