A recent visit to a local grocery story set Marc Cox's eyeballs spinning after he noticed a big price hike at the butcher counter.
"You know how much London Broil roast beef was yesterday at Schnucks?" asked Cox, "$16.99 a pound!"
The butcher counter offered the beef to him at the price before the increase was scheduled to go into effect at $14.99, but Cox wasn't convinced.
"My kids will eat bologna before I'll pay $14.99 for roast beef," says Cox.
President Joe Biden addressed the cost of beef in a meeting at the White House on Monday pointing out that a small number of companies control a large portion of the meat production in the United States.
