    Interesting that the article thinks 50 to 65 is the boomer generation. Poor Gen X will be forgotten until they are no more.

    I’m definitely represented in this article. I basically don’t buy beef anymore despite being raised with it was the centerpiece of my diet.

    I’ve learned to embrace plant-based alternatives generally find them as enjoyable if not more so than beef.

      I think of Gen X as people born in the 70s or late 60s, so that age range is pretty much split between X and Boomers imo. They also mention later on that both generations are responsible for similar rates of meat consumption

          I think both points still stand! Boomers go to the mid sixties which means the upper range of 50 to 65 covers boomers. However, the bottom range is definitely Gen X and the authors forgot you!

          Having made the mistake of forgetting Gen X in a comment the other day my eyes have been opened.
