In fact, this question is very simple, I am sure I will not buy, much less eat. This is the same as 100 dollars to buy a piece of Rolex and other watches almost, what is called "business", that is, through the sale of goods to make a profit as the work of the people, the old saying also said that "loss of business no one to do" but consider the cost of the next will know! This is more than ten dollars a catty of cooked beef and lamb is certainly a catty.
We'll take beef for example, our side of the general frozen beef to 30 dollars up and down a catty, and beef cooked process is shrinking, the general normal brine can be out of the meat 6 achievements is not easy, then count on the cost of auxiliary materials, labor, utilities and so on the cost of a catty of cooked beef to do a good job out of the cost of almost 60 or so.
Of course, the large merchants to take goods in bulk, and specialized equipment and technology to produce, this cost will drop a lot, but not to the extent that can be reduced to more than a dozen dollars a catty. The cost is still not so low, then the business has to vacuum packaging, mailing, platform operations, etc., if the meat sold without catnip, this is not business, this is the "public good" ah.
In fact, this price is low to a little abnormal meat has long been nothing new, generally either pig tendon impersonation, or "splicing meat" or "recombination meat" (many ultra-low-priced steak is this). So for the sake of your diet, don't take advantage of this kind of small advantage.
For more than a pound of beef I do not know where to come from, take our side of the cattle people have calculated the cost of more than a pound of that loss of estimated pants are not left. Now the price of live cattle are in the 13 yuan or so a catty, on our side is almost 14 yuan a catty, local beef is generally only 40% of the meat rate, two kinds of beef cattle can reach more than 45% of the meat rate, a one-thousand pounds of cattle, to buy back probably need to be about thirteen thousand, can only be killed more than 400 pounds of meat, even if you five hundred pounds of meat, twenty pounds a catty is also a loss!
Summary: So those more than ten dollars a pound of beef, I do not know exactly how to come, but eat the feeling will not let people too assured.
