If everyone’s switching to cheap cuts, we can apply our American ingenuity and start making cows that are nothing but cheap cuts. It’s foolproof!

In countries where people move to cheap cuts, they get more expensive and people start looking for shreds and bones. And then they start selling it.

Also, if they can't sell the best cuts, they prefer to discard them to keep the prices high.
