Meat in general is expensive these days. Chicken has traditionally been a low-cost alternative to beef but in recent years the price has come closer to parity with ground beef.

I don't know where you get that idea. The prices of turkey and pork have remained stable, while the price of beef has declined . It's chicken that has raised in price.

not the other part

[desireco42 → knieveltech]

I see. What I was saying, that overall price of meat is really low and accessible and this stimulates overconsumption.

There are an awful lot of people that would love to eat 20% more chicken.
