I have to say that the environment you live in shapes your eating habits. If you are living in a culture whose idea of food revolves around meat, then it's harder to change your diet. Since I moved to Asia 30 years ago, my meat consumption, especially beef, has plummeted, and that was not a conscious effort on my part. It's a matter of assimilating into a culture that has a different eating habit. Chicken, pork and fish are the meat centerpieces, but they are not the main focus of a meal. It's a different way of looking at how meat fits into your diet.
And I do relish a good burger and a juicy steak.
