Yeah that “will single out meat prices” got my eyes rolling so hard I might have a knot in my nerves now.
Meat production is one of the main contributors to the climate crisis. We need to produce less of it. I get that campaigning with that message would probably not be popular, but just focussing on groceries would have been enough right?
It’s also just one of those things where people will never be happy. Unless you can get a prime cut porterhouse for a nickel, you’re going to have the ahem meat heads screaming that you’ve failed them. Would love to buy a head of lettuce for under $3, though. Or a bag of onions. We used to practically give away corn and now it’s two ears for $1.
So much basic foodstuff has skyrocketed in price, well before you get to the pork chops and chilean seabass.
