Like frozen peas or broccoli are like $1.50 a pound, dry lentils soybeans or garbanzo beans or other dry beans are about 2$ a pound, and skinless boneless chicken breast is like 3$ a pound in the US. Shouldn't the meat be like 10 times as expensive because each pound of chicken as an animal had to eat probably at least 10 pounds and probably more like 100 pounds in plant biomass to be cultivated? The only thing I can think of is that the agricultural products they're feeding the animals are much lower quality but I would expect this to run out unless meat production was very small in scale.
It’s 6.99 a pound for boneless skinless chicken breast
