Canadian food prices are so expensive that >1kg chicken breast - $30 >1kg steak - $60 >1kg cheese - $60-90 >1 gallon milk - $12-20 >1 loaf of bread $7+ >12 eggs - $8
Public outrage has grown so much that the Canadian government has removed all meat and cheese from the food guide and is recommending mainly cheap carbs and processed foods. Diverse protein sources include crickets and insects.
>What about milk? No more milk, only water, because most of Canada 49% White population is lactose intolerant.
>Health benefits >Insects are a great source of protein and minerals, such as iron, zinc and magnesium. For example: if you eat two silkmoth larvae, you’ll get 10 times more iron than if you eat 100 grams of beef. Also, 100 grams of insects (crickets, beetles, red ants and grasshoppers) contains almost the same amount of protein as meat, but with less fat and fewer calories. Insects can also be good for your immune system. They include a protein called chitin that encourages healthy bacteria to grow in your stomach.
>Who’s eating insects? Insects are being gobbled up by 80% of the world’s population, specifically by people in Asia, Africa and Latin America. They’re eating over 1,900 different types of insects. In order of popularity:
MOST POPULAR: beetles and caterpillars NEXT POPULAR: wasps, grasshoppers, locusts, crickets and ants LEAST POPULAR: termites and flies
Also it should be noted that the Bank of Canada uses the Canadian food guide for its trimmed/core/main Consumer Price Index - CPI which is used to measure inflation.
So now chicken, beef, milk and cheese can continue to appreciate in price by 10-20%/year and the CPI basket won't include any of it, just cheap carbs.
Why do the canadians allow this? They are surrounded by nothing but epic farmland, and yet they spend so much of their pay on basic subsistence. I guess Canadian men aren't competent enough to farm effectively? Or is it trudeau giving all their bread to the returned isis somali fighters? Giving each terrorist 10 million dollars has gotta break some canuck banks, eh?
Those chickens at Costco are priced under cost and used as a lost leader product to drive foot traffic. That's why it's always located in the furthest from entrance location in every Costco. The breakeven price would be a dollar higher.

Glad to see you back user, yesterday i was wondering why i didn't see a /cic/ in a while
I just noticed it's a product of canada, hahah you fucking cucks!

I bought 8 massive chicken thighs a few days ago for a big curry meal. The cost of those chicken thighs was $6.30 all together. Canada is truly collapsing.
I blame environmentalism for this shit. It gave businesses an excuse to charge more for the exact things that should be cheap in a country.. Meat, wood, plastic, etc. Making it pointless to live there.
I wonder if a costco in Canada carry them for 5 bucks? I know the chicken and the hot dogs are sold at a loss, they are just great deals to compare with though hah, a good deal per pound of chicken here is 99 cents.

Yeah but that's special.. It's 'organic' maybe even grown by an actual Jamaican mon.
Robert Garcia
Not one cucknadian brave enough to show their flag in this thread.
I eat mainly plant-based anyway since it's better for you, but this shit is absurd market control that the government is imposing on people.
I bet Halal meat/dairy will be priced a lot less than supermarket meats/dairy. Good luck, Canucks. Eat rice and beans instead of crickets!

my mother's entire side of the family live in canada, my sister is getting married up there in august...OP is full of shit, nothing is going on up there of note. hilariously, conservative parts of america still look more like mexico than 1st world countries like northeast/west coast USA and canada, kek

Why do your farmers export your $30/kg ham for $1/kg at a profit to the USA where it's sold for $1.50/lbs?
So it's not just meats and dairy, what the fuck Trudeau!?

The Trailer Park boys meat heists weren't satire. Organized Meat Theft is an epidemic in Canada
>He left his friend waiting in the car at the main entrance of Dollar’s Your Independent Grocer. Shopping list in hand, he went directly to the meat section. There, he quickly loaded a couple hundred dollars worth of items–six T-bone steaks, a prime rib roast–into one of the reusable shopping bags so popular nowadays.
>Bypassing the cashiers, he hit the exit doors at a brisk pace–though not so fast as to attract unwanted attention–quickly slipped into the waiting car and disappeared into traffic. Elapsed time: Perhaps two minutes.
>Professional thieves aren’t just well organized, their footmen are also remarkably fast and efficient. A retail theft expert in Chicago recently estimated that one professional thief, or “booster” is equivalent to four or five amateur shoplifters. Dollar says that some thieves get in and out of his store in 30 seconds. It’s common for these pro bandits to make off with $300 to $400 worth of merchandise in a single heist, adds Richard Hampel, a detective constable with the North Bay police, who worked with Dollar and his fellow grocers to combat the thieves.
>Meat is a particularly attractive target. It commands a high street price and in many cases doesn’t feature a UPC code that enables it to be traced. Hampel says that thieves sometimes sell the stolen merchandise from their home or take it to local drug dealers in exchange for cocaine. In some cases, goods make their way through a sophisticated network of fencing channels.
In Canada, 6 T-Bone steaks and a roast cost $300-400. In Canada, cocaine dealers accept steak, meat and cold cuts as payment. This is no joke. Organized Cheese Robberies are common with the police reporting the types of cheese stolen and the quantity down to 100 grams.
>Meat >high street price >cocaine dealers accept steak okay, now im laughing again, but i've been seeing these Canadian food price threads for months now, how the fuck did this even start? did Trudeau criminalize meat eating?

>people in poverty spend 50-80% of their income on food Does this seem way above normal to anyone else? In America I'd bet they spend less than half that on food.
Isaiah Miller
49% White now, so over half the population can't drink milk
Seems like people are taking pictures of organic meme foods chain markets sell, that shit is over priced here too cheaper to go to a farmers market or something if you need organic faggotry it's cheaper.

Insect eating is based though, if you do it as well as other meats. We should not be averse to unorthodox gourmet cuisine.

Stick 20 lbs of steak in a grocery bag and walk out, easy $500 that you can exchange for an 8 ball
