Abstract
The leaner cuts of beef were preferred by the 1,125 buyers of the family meat supply who were interviewed in a study conducted in 15 large food stores in Berkeley. The preference for the leaner meat was indicated by what the buyers said they looked for in determining quality of beef, in the selections they made between steaks and roasts graded U. S. Choice and U. S. Good and in their reasons for their selections.
