You're right about the real cost, but this isn't normalization of cost - beef production is still as high as ever and is still being subsidized with tax dollars, and the difference in price is being pocketed by meat companies while taxpayers eat the production cost. It's the tariff refund problem again.
This situation is the worst of all possible worlds.
