A meat market is, traditionally, a marketplace where meat is sold, often by a butcher.
It may also refer to:
- Meat packing industry
- As an alternative spelling for meet market, a singles event or location with many single people, especially one where attendees are rapidly sizing up members of the opposite sex with objectifying criteria, such as attractiveness, wealth, and fashion sense, before taking the time to get to know attendees on a deeper level.[1]
- A place where one goes for a casual sexual encounter
- Meat Market: Animals, Ethics, and Money, a book by author Erik Marcus criticizing animal agriculture and the meat industry.[2]
The purported link between societal gender relations and meat sales techniques and treatment of animals has also been discussed in feminist literature, including those focused on women and animal advocacy.[3][4]
