Curtains for Argentine Beef?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/8522503.stm
Argentines have been urged to stop buying beef as consumer groups try to tackle rising prices.
Government figures show the cost of beef is up 7% this year, but consumer activists say the rise is nearer 25%.
Several butchers in Buenos Aires said their sales had slowed since the week-long boycott began on Monday.
Argentines are the world's biggest consumers per capita of beef and giving up on their favoured steaks clearly means a big change in diet.
