I think it's more like they're watering the stock and hoping no one notices.
Kinda like 6 oz containers of yogurt suddenly appearing and sold at the
price of 8 oz. We have 3 major chains of grocery stores around here and 2
of them sell the Hormel pork. The other sells the unbrined stuff, so I buy
meat there when I can't make it to the local butcher (he closes earlier).

As for it's the direction we're ultimately headed.....probably, just like
farmed fish.

People have to decide what they want. If you want everything to be cheap,
then you're gonna have to live with some shortcuts. If you want quality,
you're gonna have to pay for it. Anyone notice why [non-food] stuff is so
cheap nowadays? Look where it's made.
