I'm reading all these comments about 'expensive' beef at $5 pr lbs and simply shaking my head. Here in Sweden I have to pay double that, and that's for the lower end. If you want a really nice cut, double or triple it again.

In Australia, I regularly pay AUD30-35/kg for a decent cut of beef. I think that's about USD12/lb or more. I'd love to be able to get good stuff for $4.50/lb!

That cost probably includes some externalities of eating something detrimental to the environment and your health. It sounds smart to me.
