Price of red meat likely to push more people towards fish and vegetarian diet http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1281965265
Fish is likely to become a larger part of the British diet because it is one of the few foodstuffs that has fallen in price in recent years, research suggests. The price of fish has fallen by eight per cent over the past three years as the cost of meat has surged by 10 per cent.
The trend reflects the high price of grain and fossil fuels, which are needed to raise pigs and cattle. In comparison, fishing the oceans requires no feed input and less fuel. Health and environmental concerns are also contributing to the changing consumption patterns.
A newly published retail index shows fish is one of the few grocery products that has become cheaper.
The price of staples such as bread and eggs increased by 18 per cent since 2007 and tea is up 30 per cent, according to figures compiled by price comparison website mySupermarket.co.uk.

A little fish told me that they're going to get more expensive all too soon.

And y'know, I think cattle evolved to eat grass, not grain.
