"The 1973 meat boycott was a significant event in American history, with hundreds of thousands of women refusing to buy beef, pork, and lamb for a week. The boycott was sparked by a surge in meat prices, which had risen by 8% in March 1973. The protesters, mostly suburban, middle-class mothers who did not work outside the home, held rallies, passed out meatless menus, and even transported a steak in an armored truck to the White House. The boycott made national news and left meat magnates fuming. Although the boycott did not have the desired effect of reducing prices, it remains an important example of consumer power and a precursor to future protests."
