SK, if you are a meat-eater, would you be willing to pay $35-$40 (as opposed to $20-$28) for your steak dinner out in order to subsidize better wages for US meat processing/packing-industry employees?[/quote]

If it lowered their total costs, why would prices rise by 40 to 75%? Beyond that, there is no chance that raising wages by even $5 an hour should raise retail prices that much, even if all other costs remained the same. Low level meet handlers process hundreds of lbs of meat per hour.

And I don’t think I’ve had a $28 steak dinner in a restaurant in my life. Probably been a decade since I’ve had a steak dinner at any price in a restaurant. I make it a lot better at home for a lot cheaper.
