While reading an article about the best and cheapest cuts of meat today, in light of the price increases over the last year (pork up 15%, chicken up10%, beef up 8%) I focused on this point, which I had seen before a long time ago:
[One reason for the increase in meat prices]: "The price of livestock feed went up when corn became the "it" crop for ethanol, and farmers cut back on their herds. Supply is down, but demand is still high."
I wonder if anybody in Congress or the White House figured in those numbers beforehand.
