"Look for great sales on beef soon at your favorite grocery store."

About time. $11.99/lb for ribeye is ridiculous.

Agricultural meat products increase in cost over time just as average incomes have since WWII.

Unlike some products like computers and basic electronics made abroad which dropped as technology and production methods improved.

Compare the price of an new 2004 Ford Mustang to that of a 1965 Ford Mustang.

Economics and finance is not determined by emotion or personal desire.

Both the cattle business and automobile industry are labor and material intensive.

In New York City there are people with incomes of over a million dollars a year paying under $600 a month for a large 3 bedroom rent controlled apartment in Manhattan.

That same apartment in Connecticut would be well over $2000 a month and in North Carolina over $1500 a month.

Yet the average income in North Carolina is much lower than in NYC.

You are wishing for Socialist price controls on beef like New Yorkers have on housing.

Note New York liberals are not demanding wage and salary controls close to those levels of 40 years ago.

You have a hidden touch of Socialism and Oz mixed in.

Check the increases of income compared to food prices on charts that go back to WWII.

Compare food increases to real estate home price increases.

Compare food increases to automotive price increases.

Compare the relative amount spent on food in the USA to that in Europe today spent as a % of income.

Here in No. Va, far, far away from the nine states where this infected meat was distributed, beef was down $2-3 a pound on the wholesale market today.

Cheaper beef is on the way, if you care to eat it.

I'm going back to poultry and fish, thanks.
