Let me rephrase the question.

How do I eat meat that is like steak and cheap?

Negative. Unless you want to go hunt and prepare the meat yourself.

I get ground beef all the time. That's like 10 dollars for 2.2 lbs. Cook that with rice. Get some green beans you can boil on the side. That's a perfect macro profile right there for your lifting days. You work so much manual labor, you need those carbs.

As long as you have a heat surface to cook on, just get a wok. You need only brown the beef, add in the rice and water, bring to a boil, reduce heat, and cover for about twenty minutes. For spices, just get some cajun seasoning, black pepper, salt, chili pepper, and maybe some paprika.

K... thanks

Not sure why, but high-quality protein has become really expensive in the past few years. You are just shit out of luck with that. Ground beef is usually your best bet. It's still like five dollars per pound unless you get the really cheap low-grade stuff at Walmart.

Cooking with a wok was awesome back in the day. Great for cooking in the fireplace when they turn your gas off.

ground beef is stupid expensive compared to what it used to be. catfish is too. salmon is cheaper than catfish in el paso. makes no sense.

From two years ago, but it's probably pretty accurate description of our problem:

That fucking ethanol woo woo didn't help either:

It all started in 2013 when there was a drought in the Midwest. The U.S. corn crop was severely diminished, and the drought baked pastures. The demand for the limited supply of corn, used for ethanol production and cattle feed, sent corn prices soaring. Ranchers culled their herds of cattle, which caused the number to be the smallest since 1951.

In 2013 and 2014, the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDv) struck pigs. This virus is usually fatal to baby pigs, and it causes infected older pigs to lose weight. That significantly reduced the amount of pork available to the consumer.
In 2014, the number of chickens also declined.

The life cycle of these animals—chickens, pigs, and cattle—varies. Chickens can grow to market weight in four to six weeks. It takes four to six months to bring a hog to market size. It takes up to thirty months to bring beef cattle to market size. Therefore, beef was slowest to recover its market share.

If you think the size of a package of steak is smaller than it used to be, you may be right. To avoid the sticker shock of a pound of steak at $12.99 a pound, some grocery chains are packaging the meat in smaller weights. The customer thinks he is getting a bargain. What he is really getting is less meat.

Wasn't that the Canchurian's fucking boondoggle too? Fuck that guy. Deport his Canadian ass back to Quebec.

salmon is cheaper than catfish in el paso

You're not going to be very happy about what those GMO salmon are doing to our native species in the PNW.

[Speaker to Animals]

The salmon you get cheap is farmed, though. The shit that is GMO and released in the wild is made specifically for sport fishing.

Unfortunately, farmed fish is really, really bad for you. Like deadly. Don't eat that shit very often, especially the farmed tilapia.

[TheReal_ND]

Oh boy you have this twisted. It's farmed because it's GMO. The ones they catch are probably escaped.
