yes. and i suspect that one must pay more today for meat from animals that are comparable to those in Victorian times. our cows, pigs and chickens are fed differently than they were back then. and it's not just a matter of feed quality. it's a matter of new ingredients (e.g. some chickens are fed small amounts of arsenic to change their flesh color and as an antibiotic for certain diseases. and who knows what the hell goes into farmed fresh water fish - it's literally animal sewage and garbage on some farms in certain parts of the world.)
