There are many factors that go into that. Once everyone pays what it really
costs to eat unabused animals that are handled with care (notice one said
the meat looked bruised and beat up-- really don't want to think how that
happens) and aren't diseased, no one will pay $.79 a pound.
That's the current price on cabbage, I believe, but in euro. Broccoli
doesn't exist until autumn here so there isn't enough money in the world,
and cauliflower a bit out of season is going for about $1.30 pound.
