Oh, there was some people following the Friday thing, but I've only heard about it during lent and not everyone is following it - it's quite going out of fashion esp with younger generations.

Younger people make up a smaller and smaller percentage of the total population every year though.

Ironically though, the young that do practice Friday fasting are much more likely, demographically, to have children. So I imagine the practice will continue for many centuries.

And even then, it's usually breaded and deep fried. Not sure, I'd qualify it as a healthy alternative to a steak.
