I'm always amazed at how cheap meat (especially chicken) is in the USA. Here in New Zealand we pay over NZ$10 per kg (US$3 per lb). And unlike our beef, which would understandably command a premium being grass fed (like they're supposed to), our chicken is made the same way as the USA, in cages. At least we can get reasonably cheap pork shoulder, sometimes it's as low as $7 per kg (US$2.25 per lb). I can also get lamb chops for less than NZ$10 per kg (US$3 per lb).
