Organic Grassfed beef, Organic Grassfed butter, etc shipped all the way from New Zealand/Australia, is cheaper than local non-organic non-grassfed beef/butter etc
Make it make sense (been that way thru the entire pandemic/lockdown)

It's because the farming regulations are much more stringent in NZ and Aus, and the weather is more conducive to year round farming, and the practices that support that type of open field farming. It really just comes down to fertile farmland/supply.

They're tiny, so tiny 1/5th the size of BC, the same climate as BC, and 12000 kms away, export worldwide, and still far cheaper than locally raised though X.X

Same climate as the lower mainland sure, but BC, no. I work very closely with a lot of farmers, have visited many beef suppliers, and honestly, I wish they were making more money. You're right about the feedlot shit farmers fucking us though. Garbage beef, garbage practices, garbage people.
Big part of that is the standards for food here are embarrassing. Lol at the Alberta quality beef bullshit that places like Cargill speak of. Fuck them so much.
It doesn't help that so much of our best farmland has become condos over the past 40 years.

there is a Greek restaurant that I frequent, now adds mandatory 18% tip all customers, not just big group. Needless to say, I'm never going back there again.
