So what's the bs reason the beef prices went up? 600 pounds of cow weighs the same as 600 pounds of Chicken so shipping can't be it. Cows don't exactly eat fancy pastures. Chicken roughly stayed the same, pork went up some. Eggs are always fluctuating over some disease often. There's no way enough patrons are buying beef at what it costs, and because of it sausage also went up so not even that sells. I've seen sausage the same price as the steaks, but it also has lesser cuts so it's more expensive.

It's one thing to price gauge but I don't think enough people are buying at these prices these days. Imagine hating Americans so much you won't maximize tipping them off. Selling 10% of a stock at $30 is less than 90% at $6.

Costs more to produce a pound of beef than a pound of chicken, the feed water and land all factors into it, and transporting related supplies uses gas.

So what's the bs reason the beef prices went up?

99.999% of chicken in America is domestic, but only like 75% of beef is domestic with the rest being imported. That being said, the stuff getting imported is shitty beef used as filler for hamburger, so steak really shouldn't be affected as much as it is, but that's not how the market works apparently

I mean devils advocate historically beef been a treat for special occasions rather than a staple food. I'm the last person to be advocating for "eating the bugs" but it really isn't hard to not eat beef on a daily basis. Fish and chicken are cheap protein staples.

Steak* has been a treat for special occasions.

KindStranger1337@reddit

I mean that goes without saying, nobody besides instagram fitness influencers actually eat steak regularly.

Most of the world lives on fish, pork, and chicken. Don’t get me wrong I love a good brisket, and a medium rare quality cut of steak is always a crowd favorite, but beef really historically wasn’t a staple food and only really makes sense to eat as much as we do due to massive economies of scale propped up by burger munching lardasses.

firesquasher@reddit

London Broil style cuts are not a $6-8 a lb type buy. They used to be $1.99/lb. Beef has far surpassed other increases in food costs. Same could be said for brisket, thanks to the yuppie fucks that gentrified southern bbq and shot demand through the roof.

[-]

Starfire123547@reddit

Fish isnt cheap.

If you catch it yourself it is, but processed fish is insane, even frozen, not "fresh". Its at least 9$/lb for basic frozen talapia, salmon, cod, anything. Beef is about 6.50$/lb for 80/20.

Even chicken is a bit crazy, generic breasts and thighs are 2.99$/lb, although often 2.00$/lb sales, but like if you want wings or drum sticks, that skyrockets quick. Even whole chickens are 3.99$/lb at my two grocery stores, so its oddly cheaper to buy the preprocessed chicken.

Chicken is cheaper, but damn.

Hell even beans as a source of protein is crazy. cans of beans are going for 3$ a piece for like 1-2 servings. thats as much as chicken!

Trump was elected largely because of the economy so don't be surprised when people blame the current prices on him

[-]

InhumaneBreakfast@reddit

Trump was elected because modernity is extremely complex and alienating, and Trump's campaign provided a simpler (yet demonstrably incorrect, given enough discourse) world view.

That ideology drew conservative leaning laypersons into politics, thinking themselves finally "getting it" after being indifferent their whole lives. Republicans with money always voted Republican. It was the poor Republicans that got turned out with MAGA.

It's nothing more than a grift on stupid people. I'm not sure if I should feel bad, or be scared it so was successful AGAIN after Nazi Germany did it a few decades ago.

3 PRIME grade ribeyes probably bought pre sliced from a grocery store, yeah no shit they’re going to cost $100. Go to Costco, get the entire loin (or w/e the whole cut of meat is I forgor) for $250 and slice it yourself into 10-12 prime steaks.

Ribeye and beef in general goes straight to your LDL cholesterol. It will cause your arteries to literally clog up and fuck up your cardiovascular health.

Therefore, ribeyes and beef in general should be a treat, not food. You should be getting your lean protein from chicken or low-mercury fish, especially canned mackerel.

And if you're angry because the price of your treat went up and you can't have it any more, eh... Shrug. I get it, but as we get older we can have treats less and less often anyways because the health effects of them get worse and worse. Not the end of the world if we all get priced out of beef. And I say this as someone who loves the taste and texture of beef

Cardio doesn't stop plaques from building up, nor does it remove them, it simply improves the strength of the heart muscle - the vessels that supply it remain as they are, and can't be unclogged by any means beyond surgical intervention once they are clogged.
