London, Ontario, Canada | The cure for high prices for a commodity are high prices. If you look at it from a long term prospective that high prices of any commodity kills demand and forces consumers to find alternate products.
If importing a portion of the supply curbs the increse in prices then consumers may continue to remain loyal and the prices may stay at a decent level longer. If left unchecked than customers will back off and find alternatives. If that happens then you have to convince them to come back when prices come down.
I believe a lot of eggs were imported to address the bird flu that caused panic pricing.
I believe Beef producers are in the best postion they have been for decades. The trend is away from plant protein and back to unprocessed dense protein. That only comes from Beef. As our population ages they cannot consume enough protein unless its dense to maintain body health and healing.
Whats really funny to me is that this trend started in Pet food. Huge advertising to inform public that real meat was the best for your pet to be healther, lose weight and have more energy. Last I checked we are carnivores same as dogs and cats. So if its good for them why isn't it good for us?
Another endorsement for John Burns postion.
Just My opinion. | |
