Ding ding ding. Beef prices were crazy before mad cow. Blame the low carb morons.

Yeah, this is simple supply and demand. The Mad Cow scare cut temporally down the available beef supply, and all of Atkins plan dieters are jacking up the demand.

Nope!
I'm a meatcutter for a chain of supermarkets in the Pitt PA/ Cle OH region
I can tell you that the prices went up 6-8 weeks before we heard anything
about any mad cow (one cow)
It is supply/demand plain and simple
the real crappy thing about it is
the sales guys and upper management don't have to
listen to all the customers bitch about the prices.
I do.
they (the whiney customers) never stop to think that I have to pay that same $10/lb
for a strip steak that they do.
like my boss is sayin:"Here's your paycheck and all the free angus beef you can fit in your car."
yea right
just my POV
btw/ usda angus prime beef loin filet mignon $21.99/lb ~Giant Eagle, Uniontown, OH........yes,people actually pay it!!

I'm not saying that people who eat low carb diets are morons because they eat that way. I'm saying they're morons because most of these people would rather eat nothing but meat than get off their fat lazy ass and exercise.
But hey, if you'd rather pound a cheeseburger, sans bun, instead of actually going outside and going for a jog or something that's your call. I hope you have insurance when your muscles atrophy.

Eating a low carb diet will not give you colon cancer, liver failure, or heart disease.
Who here thinks that grains were a staple of our diet when it was forming back in the ape/caveman years?
Ever happen onto field of wheat and think to yourself "mmmmmm, I should run around picking these hard crunchy rocks of granules on the ends of all these grasses to sustain life."
Veggies are good, fruit is good in moderation, lean meat is good, exercise is good.
