    Yeah, I’m a millennial, and my meat consumption is not the same for strictly economic reasons. In my 20’s I ate a shitload of red meat. Now? Too expensive. Frozen chicken breast is my go to, and I get so fucking bored of it. I mix in pork and turkey here and there, but those can’t hold a candle to a good steak.

      I made a vegan paella a few weeks back, the recipe I used, which I cannot find now, included white wine in the sauce. For a vegetable dish it was phenomenonal, the white wine really added a lot to it.

      There’s no down side to including plant based meals into the routine. Many folks struggle to go all the way, myself included. Always have liked the mantra of “adding in” vs restriction, chicken does get boring. I’ve been experimenting with beans a lot this year. It’s been fun adding these in to the rotation, adds something new, is cheaper, and healthier

      That’s also a good point. Personally I just don’t enjoy red meat as much as other food. It’s okay, but nowhere near my top priorities. I far prefer vegan or vegetarian alternatives, but I still crave meat sometimes, so I don’t commit to either veganism or even vegetarianism.

      I also like fish quite a lot.
