I just got back from the supermarket. I needed some meat.....(of course) and while browsing in the beef section, I noticed that the prices were outrageous. I was looking at a crummy chuck roast, that wasnt even 5 lbs and the price was $15.00. I said out loud something like Holy Crap.......$15 for chuck roast! A woman that was near me said "you can thank all those nuts that only eat meat for that" I guess I looked simple or something because she started in on how those meat fad diets are making beef scarce. I absolutely stood there with my mouth hanging open......... Maybe I did look simple.......I couldnt think of one word to say. (not much like me) By this time there are several women agreeing with her and in general griping about the price of beef. I got the heck out of there. It smelled like a lynchin' party starting up.

Are meat eaters driving up the price of meat? Can this be true?

I didnt buy the beef..........pork and chicken are still reasonable
