Not comparing like for like there really. Name a food that sells in volume and charges what it wants?
Shellfish,there is times of the year when they basically charge what they think they can get away with and the rest of the year it is just extortionate. Just because they have got the marketing right and given it an exclusivity.

Yes, I know it's not a like for like comparison but the point is people pays loads for stuff they don't need and yet want to pay very little for stuff (like food) that they do need. Food in general is too cheap, mainly because it's filled with rubbish that isn't very good for you (sugar, fat, carbs all in large quantities), the public need to be re-educated on what proper food is.

Sugar is a carb.

Basically all food is fat, carbs and proteins in varying degrees.

What are the marketing positives then?

I’ll start-

Gluten free
High protein
Additive free/all natural
Vegan (they eat grass right!?)
...

Edit, they can’t be vegan, they drink milk, disgusting creatures!

Full of omega oils

Essential minerals and vitamins I think gram for gram lamb packs the most punch
