3. Unless I'm mistaken, they're not taking down any of their existing beef recipes, just not posting any new ones.
And even if they did take down old beef-related content, I still wouldn't have enough hours in the day to keep up with my own work and at the same time wade at any significant pace through all the online and offline recipe content, beef and otherwise, that I have available, so this will have zero effect on me. If it makes the Epicurious staff members feel better about themselves, fine.
But for them to suggest that people not noticing proves it was the virtuous or at least the tuned-in-to-the-zeitgeist thing to do doesn't persuade me either. Blogs and websites and the like on all topics sometimes drift toward posting things that interest the sites' authors but don't interest me (example: a recipe website I used to check regularly that's gone all keto lately), and in proportion to my lack of interest, I just drift away. I don't bother writing a message to complain.
