Rising meat prices prompt national meat boycott
April 6, 1973 - Rising meat prices have prompted a meat boycott movement headquartered in California, Fight Inflation Together. A local meat cutter?s union spokesman claims the boycott is being observed mostly in affluent neighborhoods. Families in those areas think it?s stylish to go along with the boycott. The state chapter chairman says the boycott is not intended to hit the farmers. She doesn?t think that?s where the price rise is. The group may ask homemakers to support two meatless days each week.
