Ironically, an Australian friend was just telling me yesterday how U.S. supermarket beef doesn't taste nearly as good as the grass-fed stuff he's used to from back home (and that it even smells different). He also said that he was surprised that lamb is almost impossible to find here and tastes terrible (and that Americans seem to be as into pork as Australians are into lamb).
The Wall Street Journal has a story describing how beef lost its flavor as meat efficiency and output were maximized.
