Dr. Sylvain Charlebois writes, "Canadians are no longer defining themselves by strict diet labels. Instead, they are becoming opportunistic eaters, adapting their diets based on price."
Mother Nature also had her say but for the most part ..
Call it the sickening farce that passes for Lieberal Governance.
There is only one way to fix this and now it will take time, probably way, way, way too much time.
A year ago Canada had the opportunity to dump the jerks who were primarily responsible for hamburger at $10/lb and an edible steak at $35/lb or more (not including the odd and welcomed sale) but instead they chose to double down on these fools now lead by the chief, WEF, Globalist, Environmentalist, "Progressive" fraud who when he talks... (You know the rest).
BTW... The US is also suffering the same fate and that one goes back to an idiot who should just STFU and go away but instead speaks to the "believers" in Toronto and the eat it up while most others can't even afford to eat properly.
Its been years since the farmer has got a decent wage for all his efforts in raising animals. He is never compensated for the losses or the costs of having to treat them. Its a 7 day a week job, huge investment in feed and equipment. And then generally taking what the market is offering. Big companies have bought out smaller ones. Very few processing plants and these are linked to those huge feedlots and the few elevators remaining for the grain, hardly any feed plants out there now to get feed for cattle, fertilizer plants again owned by the large companies. Yes this huge price in the stores is just ridiculous. Yes try and go to a local farmer, he would love it but the cost to get that animal processed by the few small butchers around is high as they have to pay high wages to get people to work in those conditions and govt regulations is forcing more and more to give up. Big plants hire their own inspectors that work for them!!!!!!
Meat provides protein and Iron. Women need Iron . Just try to wrestle the meat off my plate!
The sad thing is this was all by design...
Government rules, regulations and policy.
And YES..

Remember the "you will own nothing" thing...
Happy yet Elbowzoe crowd?
I love beef, but can not justified the cost of it , so I pass it by .
When I see a very small beef roast, maybe 4 servings with a price of $132.00 , I just shake my head .
The farmer/rancher sure is not getting that kind of money, but the middle men are .

Cost has always been the first consideration in my grocery shopping days. I thought it was the first consideration of the whole world. My goodness !
