Well, in truth, industrialized nations shouldn't be focused as primarily 
carnivorous.  Consider Europe, where a hamburger costs a fair bit, as much 
as four times the American price.  It is more appropriate to look at 
eating *habits* over a long period of time when looking at the meat/vegan 
debate; government subsidies here play a large role in the relative 
inexpensive price of beef.  

Like my old pal Denis Leary sez: "This country was founded on meat (and 
war)."

Nothing I like better than sucking down a greasy quarter pounder tho'...
