EBT is raising the price of meat because, even in the 70’s when I was a bagboy, the food stamp users bought the most expensive meats.

The high beef prices are a result of the killer snow storm that crossed the Upper Midwest about 15 months ago. Hundreds of thousands of cows, and calves, were killed.

It's going to take awhile to get production back to normal levels.

I hadn’t noticed as I haven’t had beef in about three years.
