Argentina’s meat-eating tradition, centered around barbecue, remains strong, with steakhouse culture deeply ingrained. Despite this, beef consumption has declined, partly due to economic challenges and health concerns about red meat. The rise of vegetarianism and veganism, driven by ethical and environmental considerations, is evident, with about 12% of Argentinians now following plant-based diets.

Despite these changes, meat continues to hold a significant cultural and economic position in Argentina.
