When I first moved to the south, the first thing I noticed in the grocery stores is that pork was way more expensive here than in California. I have never bought much pork but it was a huge increase from what I was used to seeing.
Then I saw the cart fulls of "poor people" using their welfare debit cards to buy a hell of a lot of pork. They jack up the price since the government is paying for it.
