Bananas and grapes are cheap compared to beef. Did you really not think of that?

Why is beef jerky so expensive?
It used to not be before this keto craze hit. Now they spend a lot of the processing time getting rid of the carbs so these freaks can brag about their pee smelling funny. It’s all fueled by instagram and Facebook.

I have a big pack that I just got off of amazon that I paid $30 for. Dry beef jerky and not that waxy crap.

I compare milk and gasoline all of the time. A gallon of milk cost more than a gallon of gasoline. Drilling rig, oil platform, pipeline, refinery vs a pasture. Think about it.

Because they haven't found a way to add pink slime to it. Yet.

Then how are banana chips and raisins so economical?
Bananas are $.56 / lb. a 40lb case will cost you about $22.

We have a dehydrator, it's very easy with that, especially if you can get wherever to thin slice the beef for you. Marinade overnight then toss in dehydrator.
We usually go with a spicy or Korean bbq flavor and it comes out fire

Cracklins at $15/lb is even more astonishing.

I agree. I love it, but I ain’t paying $8 a bag for that measly helping.
It's fairly easy and inexpensive to do your own.

If I am not mistaken Bourgeois uses 7 pounds of flank steak to yield a pound of jerky.

I make my own and start out with the eye of round roast cut across grain in slices about 3/16 of an inch thick. Then it's just adding my seasonings to it and making sure all pieces are coated well, refrigerate it no less than 24 hours to marinate and then on the grates of my dehydrator to dry out to my liking.
Good thing is it freezes well and I'll bag pieces of it up in quart freezer bags to save for later consumption. I don't use any chemical preservatives in my jerky, so it can go off in a few day time.
One eye of round roast yields about 50 slices of meat.

Also a lot of work. Wages and overhead have to be met and exceeded. These businesses aren't running a charity.

This is true, especially when you consider what it's made from. Hell, it's only deep fried pork fat with small bits of meat attached to it.
I've made it at home out of pork belly before and it is a very slow process to do it right when you render the fat down like needs to be done in order for it to become cracklin'.
I like the stuff by it really is "Heart attack in a paper sack" when you think of it.
