Unpopular opinion: beef prices aren’t high enough. Everyone wants the food system to be fixed, but no one wants to pay what food actually costs. I keep hearing people complain about $6 ground beef at the grocery store, and I want to invite them to raise their own. I guarantee they couldn’t do it for that price.
