Firstly. Calling out bullshit and being an asshole about it are different things.
Secondly, you want to talk economics? OK let's do it.
Price of meat is actually artificially high due to high demand and lower supply. This prices people out of the market (particularly premium cuts). You can easily see this in the price of beef over the last 10y.
What do you think will happen when demand softens by 1/7th?
Price will soften which will increase demand again and you'll have a net zero change.
It's basic economics and you're being willfully dumb.
