T: Mike Johanns quote..."If beef supplies don't increase and drive down prices, "American consumers will start choosing other sources of protein," he said. "The price of beef is getting very, very high per household."
FROM A CONSUMER PERSPECTIVE beef prices, RELATIVE TO PORK AND POULTRY were too high.
That's a fact!
Ask any retailer.
Johanns was not speaking from a PRODUCER PERSPECTIVE, he was speaking from a CONSUMER PERSPECTIVE (Johanns: "American consumers will start chosing....."). Johanns statement reflects the attiudes of most beef consumers.
Tommy, I asked my wife why we eat chicken so much instead of beef. You know what she said? THE PRICE OF BEEF IS TOO HIGH! She has been involved in ranching her entire life.
Maybe you should jump on her case for making that statement from a consumer's perspective.
Johanns simply told the truth FROM A CONSUMERS PERSPECTIVE.
I'm surprised you guys couldn't figure that one out on your own.
