Premium cuts maybe but in my experience, meat is honestly one of the first things you steal if you're poor and hungry.

Eating nothing but rice, ramen, flour/water, and $1 bread all the time makes you tired and anaemic, and it just sort of feels like stealing some mince or a steak is going to fix that.

Meat products are also reasonably easy to conceal, too.

Yep. Must be a lot harder these days with all the cameras but still, they tend to be located in an area where shoppers do a lot of bending over and rummaging.
