I was chatting with a friend in Canada about the high cost of beef. Ribeye steak is $15 per lb. at Safeway here is southern Oregon. My friend says that in Canada theft of beef is a huge problem in grocery stores. They are now coding it so that alarm goes off at the door. Another reason I am glad that I stopped eating meat. Here is a link about theft in the stores.
