Re: steak: Fair enough, it's certainly a compromise :)

I suppose it's still a disproportionate part of our economy, even if it's less labour-intensive. Still a huge part of our culture, too (said the kid who grew up in Wellington!), although I suspect that's rapidly fading out over time

Oh it's definitely a large part of our economy. Farming also has a huge number of secondary industries that would collapse if we stopped farming, but that's probably true of most industries.

And yes, I think that culture is fading as cultures become more globalised but it's definitely still there.
