Fresh ground chuck is 1.48lb at Winn Dixie this week.Ground sirloin is 3.49lb
The price of ground beef vs. Spam puts the MSNBC article in a poor light. I just read another article and Hormel's own statements that the increase in Spam sales is attributed to increased advertising and new single serving packs. In fact, Hormel said it was the first Spam advertising in 71 years, if I remember correctly. If ground chuck is two dollars per pound less than Spam, it is reasonably to conclude that increased Spam sales are not due to the economy. MSNBC continues to be the unofficial election headquarters for Obama.
I am old enough to remember when the news media was not so lopsided in its "reporting". Of course, I am also old enough to remember when the air was clean and sex was dirty.
