What I don’t understand these days is pricing. I can buy corned beef for
1/2 the price of brisket. Pork belly cost more than cured and sliced
bacon.

It is all about the volume. They sell a lot more bacon than raw pork
belly and the guys who make bacon pay a pittance for it. Same way with
Brisket. Those are generally waste byproducts that they sell for
pennies a pound.
I remember when I was working at Swift "Skirt Steak" was a nickel a
pound at the processing plant and my sister fed it to her dogs. Then
we discovered Fajitas and it costs more than sirloin at the store.
