| Abstract: | A family tradition of beef taboos exists in Chinese societies. The marketplace for beef in Taiwan is imported mainly from the U.S., Australia, and New Zealand. For mechanised-farming families or even for those no longer engaged in agriculture, beef consumption is often not encouraged nor allowed by family members. Using quantitative data in the analyses, this study was undertaken to examine whether family beef taboos influenced beef consumption for young adults in Taiwan. Respondents from beef-consuming families consumed more beef (4.34 times/week: average, 150.07 g/week: cooked) than respondents from non-beef-consuming families (1.87 times/week: average, 56.67 g/week: cooked). For the respondents from non-beef-consuming families, spiritual burden was a main factor affecting their own beef consumption. The implications based on this study’s findings are provided. |
