I love both. Heck I still have half a freezer full of venison and dip into that too. But pork is much cheaper right now.

Markets now load their shelves with OLD beef at ridiculous prices. And they wonder why beef consumption is way down...

The price of beef is outrageous. I personally I think it is due to several factors: demand from overseas, high fuel costs, EPA regulation, BLM practices, and weather. Turning corn to fuel isn’t helping either.

I want lard to make a comeback. It’s not actually bad for you.

Purely driven by pricing. I can barely afford ground beef.

I can’t afford beef. I rarely buy it. I think I have bought beef maybe 5 times in the last year. Pork and chicken I can afford (usually).

I think pork (and lamb) have been neglected, compared to beef, chicken and turkey, for a long time in the US.

Corned beef has gone from $8-10, to 17-23 in the last two years.

As much as we like it, we just don’t buy it anymore.

We stopped buying beef because we won’t pay the price they are asking. We can get pork at a better price. Beef it’s for very special occasions only any more.

Purely economics... smallest beef herds in decades, prices beyond high... Low end 73% lean TUBE beef is over $3 a lb in most markets, let alone something that isn’t pure crap...

When beef prices fall, you will see it switch back

Since pork is getting cheaper than beef, and 0.00boogaloo has cut military spending, doesn’t it make cents for the military to feed the Gitmo prisoners pork? ;>O

One cannot be a real American if that person is not Jewish unless he or she eats ham, bacon, pork chops, etc. Think of all the A-holes we can get rid of by such a rule—the followers of MoHAMmed, the Vegans, and other nut cases.
