Literally. More supply, more export routes. Cheaper. Fact. No amount of reeeee can change that.
I know, it's unfair to the accolytes of Soviet Inevitabilty*, but real life has this habit of gut-checking ideas.
*)The idea of Soviet Inevitability is that since Soviets always win the best everybody else can do is surrender quickly and on somewhat less horrible terms.
How are they cheaper?

Same boat here. Every place I move to, I try to find local farmers that optimally sell by the cut or, worst case, by the quarter. I've seen what good meat does for a body. My son is growing like a weed - he eats 1-2 lbs of meat a day.
Funny you bring up mis-labeling. If you read into the case more you'd find the FDA sprays all meat with non-organic chemicals, and it's never labeled anywhere. I'm actually looking for a new source of local meat because my current CSA will only guarantee no FDA if I buy whole animal.

My wife was moving away from a lot of animal products, but noticed some health issues. Now that she's eating more meat, and drinking bone broth daily, she has more energy, sleeps better, and hair and nails have improved.
Still using my same CSA farmer. His FDA processing facility only sprays citric acid. And most important test, we always feel great eating meat from his farm.

"Today the US government’s debt to GDP ratio is about 120% and its budget deficit is forecast to be about 7% of GDP this year A 300 basis point [interest rate] hike should increase the budget deficit to about 11% of GDP. Since 1991, all 18 other governments with deficits exceeding 11% of GDP and debt to GDP ratios exceeding 110% defaulted within two year. Thus, the Fed could soon be trapped: raising rates could trigger default and not raising them could leave inflation unchecked. Similar dilemmas in other countries have often caused extreme crises, e.g., Argentina Brazil, and Venezela; the US may soon join the club.”
