Too expensive, and more tedious to cook. Chicken is healthier too.

Chicken has more utility
Fried, grilled, braised, baked
It's all there
And it's mild flavor means it takes to different seasonings and sauces much more easily which makes it even more diverse

[Anonymous No.19575498]

40 years ago there'd typically be one or two chicken dishes on restaurant menus, because chicken was seen as the "boring" option for picky eaters (which it was). People didn't cook chicken at home as often because it's much more difficult to prepare properly compared to all the different beef dishes. What changed is that people started thinking that red meat was unhealthy, so chicken became kind of a "light, healthy alternative", and started showing up on more menus in more interesting dishes. So it's not really that people are eating less beef; they're just eating more chicken.

No, I know you're a foreigner because you still didn't catch the thing that would be an immediate red flag to any American. And it's not about "knowing the price"; it's about being too young to remember what things were like 30 years ago and just saying, "hurr, beef expensive!", as though that explains why things were trending in the exact same direction 20 years ago when the economy was doing great.

This. Red meat heavy diets are only for the young who don't have any risk of cardiovascular issues. People like Jack or pic related are the last people who should be doing them. The reality is that the major problem with the American diet is an excess of calories overall. Plus if you're piling dairy on top of that you're just asking for trouble. Increases in dairy consumption in the past decades have not helped anything.

Every. Fucking. Time.
What are these Obama policies you're referring to? He actually tried to put policy into place that would provide safeguards against unfair business practices by the handful of mega-corporations that have a virtual monopoly over livestock production in the US - which is the real reason prices keep going up. His policy kept getting blocked and then Trump came into power and said, "help the little guy? Fuck that."

What the fuck are you even talking about?

Prices go up because of inflation. You increase the money that gets printed, all your existing money becomes weaker. The reason it hurts to have prices go up is because all that new money hasn't made it to your pocket yet is being spent on shit by the people who get first crack at it and are able to buy things at the previous price. Now all the money is in the hands of big business and they aren't keen on spreading it out when they start adjusting to the new normal, but instead start hedging while they can before the bottom drops out from all the money printing. Then more money gets printed to try and delay that drop because number must go up, so do more of the thing causing the problem and maybe it won't fall apart now and it'll be the next guy's problem.

The stimulus checks themselves were a good idea. Just about everything surrounding how he handled them was a disaster.
>>19576114
I wasn't claiming that printing money willy-nilly can't be a bad thing; of course it can, and we're going to be living with the consequences of Trump's handling of the economy for decades. The problem with people like the anon above is that they seem to think of the economy as zero sum, and don't understand that the primary driver of inflation is growth (it should go without saying, but growth is generally a good thing). Stimulating the economy from the bottom up during a once in a lifetime pandemic makes sense. Letting a third of the country become homeless would have been bad for everyone, but there was no reason the biggest companies should have been tripling their profits during that time. But yeah, if we just had less regulations I'm sure all that money wouldn't have been consolidated in the top 10% of earners, and maybe if the Trump administration actually hired people to run the government there wouldn't have been rampant PPP fraud. But I'm probably just talking out my ass, and defunding the IRS is most likely what's going to turn things around.

The only time I eat beef is when I'm making a 2 pound stew, braised or occasionally ground

[Anonymous No.19576221]

>>19576090
The most basic economic principle: money is excanged for goods and services.
Are you clear on this point?

If an amount of money that is readily traded for an amount of goods or service can be called the price, or cost of that amount of goods or service.
I hope I'm not going too fast for you.

The price of anything can be determined by comparing the supply and demand for that thing.
This is a supremely important aspect of economics, so always keep it in mind.

So the total amount of goods and services should roughly equal the amount of money that's available.
This is kinda important and it can get complicated when you consider that not all money is available to all markets, and some goods are unavailable to all markets, and the actual distribution of money to goods & services can vary, however over the whole of it, statistically, it should be equal. That is to say all the money in the world should buy all that there is to buy in the world at that time.

I'll go on with your education if you can recognize these principles. If not please ask for clarification before we move on.

Great.
Now if you have a product and the supply of that product increases, but the demand of that product does not increase, you should expect the price of that product to drop. Supply and demand in action.

Now it does not happen immediately, but like all statistical norms, over time and enough interactions, the actual results will trend towards what the statistics predict.

The same supply and demand action applies to money itself as well. So if more money is made, but the goods and services on the market don't increase, the value of that money is lessened. This means that the price of goods and services will cost more money than before.

A store manager doesn't get an email saing the fed printed 10% more money yesterday, so increase all prices 10%, budget 10% more for costs, and give everyone a 10% raise. What happens is sombody buys up a lot of something, pricesstart going up, and people do one of three things. They negotiate a raise, find a better paying job, or suffer the loss in buying power. Eventually the market reaches an equilibrium, but untill it does people are hurt in the transition. Unless of course they happen to be one of the first to play with the new money.

It is possibe to play games and make it look like there is growth where there is none, such as importing a chunk of the third world and pretending it's just like a baby boom. Or flooding the stock market with fresh money, making it look like a it's increasing when it's actually a bubble. But this is not avoiding the underlying fundamentals that your money has been debased with nothing more than a keypress.

Yeah, my shift at work ended and I stopped caring. My point was how prices rise because of money printing.

Beef is more expensive than chicken because of jews.

But really its because cattle takes longer and is harder, and more expensive to do at such large scale, it's easier to disrupt than chickens. Look at that recent egg fiasco, a batch of bad feed caused no egg laying on a very large scale for a while and the industry bounced back real quick. But with cattle, one malicious/incompetent bureaucrat and fuck your whole operation.

It's an educated and ethical decision. Cows are vegan, and they eat enough vegan food to feed 40 vegans. That's a lot. Majority of cows do not graze at all. They are being fed food that is shipped in from far away lands, the scale of soybean monoculture, widespread fertiliser use, water usage, fuel usage, emissions and pollution to produce one of the least tasty meats out there to line the pockets of people who have already been paid in the form of subsidies.

I can assure you regulations eliminate more competition in the market than a big business with all their marketing and cost cutting ever can. Billion dollar businesses like Apple and Amazon can eat a few regulations and hire lawyers to figure out ways around them. You're average small business of about 10 to 100 employees simply cannot and the cost of being compliant with said regulations can mean the difference of breaking even to operating at a lost thus leading to cutting costs to stay open or shuttering all together.

And when the policy has been sufficiently neutered they say it doesn't work so we might as well not even try (exactly what you're saying).

Read the thread. Of course it's just a bunch of zoomers and summerfags, but even normal people think about everyday food expenses a lot more today than they did 30 years ago. Literally nobody was thinking about, "oh no, beef is 50 cents more expensive than chicken! I guess we'll just eat chicken for 90% of our meals!" Nobody but the poorest used to think of food that way; but today it's just a common thing. Maybe "prohibitively" is a little hyperbolic, but the numbers in the OP chart don't lie. Beef didn't used to be a splurge.

>Chicken breast is by far the worst cut of chicken. I'll never understand why it's so popular here in America, every other part of the chicken is so much juicier and more flavorful.
bro who cares just enjoy buying delicious thighs for 1/3rd or less the price of breast.

Does it even have that? Chicken fried steak is pretty damn nice, and of course you can get it in steak finger form to replace your tendies.

wow a pound of meat per day and they’re smarter and healthier?
maybe these low carb diets are on to something

[Anonymous No.19599275]

>>19599116
Nah, low carb diets are associated with lower life expectancy. And red meat causes cancer and heart disease. There is more than enough evidence for that, but the meat industry tries to push the carnivore-keto bullshit as much as it can. The longest and healthiest population on earth are seventh day Adventist, they don’t eat meat at all. People in Hong Kong are rich, don’t smoke, probably drink less, have a more active lifestyle and that’s why they live longer

Cheapest beef I can get is ground at $3.69/lbs, everything else is $4+/lbs, if not upwards of $5+/lbs. I can easily get chicken at sub $2/lbs.

I buy whole briskets at like $3.70/lb and grind it myself. A plus is you can grind the tallow and render that and use it as a cooking fat as well. For meatloaf I mix in pork shoulder.

No, you are retarded. The faggot I replied to literally said thighs require cheese to be good.

Either way, if you "have to" add cheese to any cut of chicken to "make it good" then you are a shit cook and you should kill yourself.

because globalist corporations unironically have spent the last 20 years consolidating their power by buying up local producers, consolidating them into one subsidary, and then shipping their products overseas to places such as china for increased profits. They want you to eat the bugs so they can keep selling you marked up meat products, not because they want to stop killing chickens and cows. Those animals will still be raised and slaughtered, but instead of being sold to you they will be sent overseas.

No it wasn't. A "serving" isn't standardized but 6-11 servings of bread could be anywhere from around a half pound to little over a pound. A pound of bread a day was also seen as standard hundreds of years before the food pyramid.

To think that everyone was following the food pyramid doesn't make much sense either when it tells you to limit added sugar and we can see most people just kept eating more and more.

the point is that the prices are higher now due to exports being more profitable, and that the push for plant-based meats and processed bugs is a way to maintain market share while providing the consumer with a lower quality product. This runs contrary to the narrative pushed by so called supporters of 'insect based protien' or 'artifical plant susbtitutes' when they attempt to claim the moral high ground in order to guild trip people into the adoption of these products. There is absolutely no benefit to you, the western individual, to adopt a lower standard of living so that people unrelated to you can enjoy juicy steak dinners.

People in the 90s were obsessed with coupons. It was mostly women shopping still and they loved getting deals. It was normal to be thrifty even then. If anything people spend more nowadays on useless shit like cellphones and a million streaming subscriptions.

The 80s and 90s were also a time of extreme inflation on part with today. You have no clue what you're talking about. The 90s were way better than 2023, sure, but the 60s were even better and you have to be a blind retard to think otherwise. Beef consumption obviously fell for a variety of reasons including anti-red meat health propaganda (this served a number of purposes, such as bolstering rival industries and lowering testosterone levels), poor economy, and later, mad cow epidemic propaganda. Surprised no one mentioned it. Mad cow was a big deal for about 3-4 years in the US and UK. It coincided with Supersize Me and Fast Food Nation, a 1-2 punch on beef.

Why is chicken popular? It's easier to plump up with selective breeding, hormones, and saline injections in the packaged product. They basically dip the meat in bleach. The entire FDA regulation of the meat industry is a fraud. Upton Sinclair's muckraking was horseshit that paved the way for the urbanization (AKA enslavement) of the American farm family. Regulation was a slippery slope. If you regulate factories, you regulate backyard farmers. Can't sell shit to neighbors. Don't forget zoning laws too. It's all part of the plot to make us sick, weak, and infertile. Part of the Rockefeller plan to depopulate a huge chunk of people and sell the rest lifelong "cures" using petroleum byproducts.
