I do consider myself a beef eater, but as I look back upon recent meals, I realize that I almost never eat beef. Sometimes the odd hamburger, but that's it. Haven't had a steak in years. In the past I regularly enjoyed them. Just haven't been interested in them recently.

I don't make a point of avoiding beef, but I happen to mostly eat chicken, or some kind of seafood, or no meat at all.
