A letter from a Butcher about meat prices increasing out of reach

This was a letter I received after I questioned Meat and Livestock Australia about how they planned to make more money out of cattle without having more cattle in Australia. It all ties into the elites plan to have the peasants eat bugs.

I’m a passionate second-generation butcher, 40 years of age. Your questions to the head of Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA) about meat prices were very impressive. The MLA l agree are doing a great job in production of better cattle. But, I’d like to say the reason for sending this letter is the supply chain above the retail sector has not acknowledged that the sharp price increase of meat in the past 8 years is hurting the consumer, who we butchers serve on the front line.

The quickness of the increases is strangling butchers and customers in demographic areas where people are mostly cooking at home and can’t afford to eat out. It saddens me seeing customers changing what they are purchasing from us as they can no longer afford to buy their steaks for dinner, opting for cheaper cuts and minimal weights. I am seeing a major shift in what customers can afford to eat which was never an issue with meat in the past.

Without prejudice I can say that all our suppliers we speak to are nearly happy with the price increases which is concerning me as they look at export profits over our own people. It saddens me to say that what you mentioned in your questioning, I can completely back and say it is what’s been going on in a way that’s hurting our own consumers.

It’s making the wealthy minority happy to a point where middle to low-income people in our own country can no longer afford to eat meat. The direction of the MLA will do nothing except help increase prices. This has been shown to me as a reader and a member of the MLA, it’s all about trying to increase meat prices.
