Abstract
Summary Over the last decade, some interesting changes have been seen in the British diet. Some of these have resulted from changes in wide‐reaching social issues that affect today's eating culture, such as the fast pace of today's lifestyle, whereas others have occurred as a result of alterations in food production methods and technological advances. The consumption of meat and meat products, in particular, has seen a great deal of flux, and as meat is an important source of various nutrients in the diet, this is an area that warrants further investigation of the resulting public health implications. This paper reviews some of the trends in meat consumption over the last 10 years and describes the role of meat in the UK diet today.
