Re: Meat - Why So Expensive?

What was the origin of the meat? I find the meat here is pretty expensive because the Swiss like to buy meat from Switzerland...
origins :
pork = Switzerland
lamb = New Zealand / if kosher/halal NZ via France
beef = Poland (plus Hungary etc)
chicken = Switzerland plus Germany, France, Austria

relatively "small" channels in use, and enormous conditions
put onto the traders by the authorities, and that again
based onto health laws

a variety of factors contribute to make meat expensive

ridiculed by the fact that people along the borders (some 50%
of the people) easily can get the stuff cheaper from across
