      Whilst I am profoundly disconcerted by the egregiously inflationary trajectory of alimentary commodification, my consternation is exponentially exacerbated by the preposterous proclivity of certain individuals to gratuitously employ grandiloquent and recondite verbiage in a transparently ostentatious endeavor to simulate intellectual superiority.

      ....are you seriously complaining like this about the use of the word 'apopleptic'? It was one word, dude, let it go.

        What's crazy is that ground beef is practically a waste product. You can get it for under $4/lb in Houston. Hell, come by certain grocery stores at the end of the day and they're trashing buckets of it.

        $6.12 for something that's filling up garbage cans and landfills to the tune of 429.2 million lbs in 2022 alone? Seems like Americans are getting price gouged.

        It really is incredible how much land is used, pollution created, and environmental devastation caused to create more waste for landfills, furthering the aforementioned problems. Meanwhile, folks starve next door and around the globe. Coming down from the trees was a terrible decision.

          Steak mince vs ground beef are different things.

          One is basically offal, the other could have been a steak. Unless they're using the term incorrectly, the price should be different.

              Killing all the brown people was how we were supposed to get cheap eggs. The brown people were making our eggs expensive so we had to spend $600M on an Everglades concentration camp

                the average amount of red meat consumed a day on the earth per person is something like 2.2 ounces.

                seems like the price isn't high enough to make Americans recognize how a 1/4 pounder is twice that average in one item.

                        I could sell you some eggs for 100% markup so you can relive that memory.

                          Yeah that's dumb... Not everyone eats red meat everyday... Maybe try finding out how much someone eats during a meal on average... And how many people per day .. That's more informative...

                              I know, what a poor use of statistics. Most people play tennis for under 30 seconds/day so playing for 30 mins is an outrageous use of time.

                                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

                                https://links.coles.com.au/hRXTKkT7aVb

                                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)

                                  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.

                                        Is it because they are talking about Epstein? No? That's weird.

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