[QUOTE="Duckslayer100, post: 474573, member: 1485"] So what's stopping Average Joe Schmo from opening up a Mom & Pop packing plant to just process beef/pork, etc. straight from the farm? I mean, I get that the packing plants have a monopoly and they're the ones screwing over everyone else. So what would happen if, say, I decided to hell with it, I'm going to take custom orders and process beef and charge 1-2 pounds per less than the grocery story? I assume there's red tape up the wazoo to stop? Speaking of which: Do meat markets not process their own beef? If so, why are they often even more expensive that the grocer if they don't have the packers chewing up profits? This coming from a completely naive east-sider, so take that for what it's worth.
