Maybe a lawsuit by them will get the price of meat down. I don't want to be a vegetarian, but I buy less and less animal based protein. I remember when ground beef was .79/lb. Sure don't want to pay $4/lb for the same thing.

It's a damnned shame that food and housing has been added into the bottom line and fatcats profit when people go homeless and hungry.
