I have a question.

First we have to ask, can the average farmer in Canada earn a decent standard of living, under the current economic model? If we are to believe the lobbyists, we must accept the premise that farmers don't get what it is worth to produce food. So, if we follow the chain of dominos that fall down, then we arrive at the conclusion that, the cost of food in the grocery store is not dependent upon the chain that brings it to market.

And if we accept all of that, does it ever make you wonder whether the fact that beef is more expensive that chicken isn't purely arbitrary?
