Beef is expensive. Which is strange considering the factory nature of it, plus the subsidies on the feed.

- bkjelden 10y agoRaising cattle requires a lot of land (both for the cattle themselves and to grow the feed they eat). Land is a finite resource.
- douche 10y agoDepends on what you're buying. "Good" cuts of steak are expensive, but chicken breast is more expensive than hamburg, which is oddly more expensive than "lesser" cuts of steak or roasts. Chicken thighs tend to be dirt cheap, but so is pork. It doesn't make a ton of sense to me, but that's how it is. I like the taste of chuck steaks and London broils, so I'm glad those are some of the cheapest options.
