    the absolutely wild thing about this is that australia is/was also complaining about a cost of living crisis, and our food is $ for $ roughly the same… as in our numeric value for food is the same - despite our currency being worth about 2/3 as much

    this doesn’t mean that australia has our cost of living crisis easy… it means that americas food prices are ultra fucked

    Coles No Added Hormone Beef 3 Star Regular Mince: $7/500g (1lb ~= 450g)

    (at time of writing, that beef in the photo costs about $10AUD/500g, or our beef mince costs $4.50USD)

      like some fucked up torture treadmill

      Welcome to industrial animal agriculture. I stopped eating animal products 7 years ago. My only regret is not making this change earlier.

      And before someone says "just buy from small local farms": I live in an urban area. Unless I burn gas driving all over fuck, the industrial animal ag products are what is in the stores. Easier for me to just go plant-based.

        Beef prices should go up, along with all meat prices, to reflect their ecosystemic toll. The problem is basic staples are also expensive.

              Because media focus shifted. People will be mad with what the media tells them to be mad at.

                "Just buy from small local farms," a phrase spoken exclusively by people who do not just buy from small local farms.

                7 is a good year, on average most of the cells in your body have already been replaced. You're almost entirely made of plant material at this point lol

                  Because the pro-Trump media now tells people it's because of the long-lasting effects of the Biden admin. Here in Hungary, we're still being told the awful state of the healthcare system is due to the Gyurcsány-era, that was in 2010(!), although they started to mix it up with a little "the EU isn't sending us money because we made a law that labels gay people pedophiles".

                    yeah stop the corn and soybean subsidies and actually charge ranchers for letting their cattle graze on federal land and then the price will reflect what the real price of meat is.

                      because everyone knows and feels the slowly rising over-inflation, but there are far more pressing problems that need to be addressed

                            Same reason the clown is elected twice in the first place, the media in this country is completely irresponsible and run by profit driven assholes with zero ethics, a major problem in everywhere.

                              People need to just stop buying what is not absolutely necessary. They will suffer a curious side effect: Weight loss, lower sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol. Maybe that will force producers to call on their orange god to quit his grifting. Who oversees the tariff tax in the External Revenue Service?

                                Why is meat so much cheaper here in east asia anyway? I can get tenderloin for ~6USD/lb.

                                  Noticed a similar thing going between Canadian and US grocery stores. Roughly the same numerical cost, but with the difference in price exchange rates it is far cheaper on the Canadian side. Also, high fructose corn syrup isn’t at the top of every single ingredient list.

                                        Just curious because you're specifically using the term plant-based: are you eating plant-based or are you vegan? If not the latter, how come?

                                        No judgements whatsoever - just curious
