I ABOUT THE PRICE OF MEAT ! Less than a Penny a Day This is what the meat packing industry earns, after all expenses, for providing meat for an average Amer ican family of four—less than 7ff a week. For this net profit the industry— Buys livestock and pays out millions of dollars daily for it. Operates plants, machinery and equipment (employing over a quarter million people). Prepares fresh meat, ham, bacon, sausage, canned meats, etc. Delivers meat, under refrigeration, a few blocks or a thousand miles, to your store. Over a period of years, whether meat prices were up or down, the earnings for these services have had no appreciable effect on the price you pay for a pound of meat. Meat prices, whether up or down, are determined by competition. Just as the more than 4,000 separate meat packing companies compete with each other in buying livestock and selling meat ... so millions of shoppers select meat daily from the available supply. And at retail, when meat cuts are in large supply, prices are lower than when they are in limited supply. The supply of one meat or another may change greatly from week to week or season to season. This results in meat prices going up or down. American Meat Institute Headquarters, Chicago • Members throughout the U.
