Curiously enough I'd expect meat to get cheaper because its' production would have to get a lot more thoughtful to be profitable. Right now what we have is expensive in direct and indirect costs. The meat is of poor quality and will make people sick so all these government programs pay for these costs on this side of the equation too. Basically the consumer pays for the meat, subsidies, AND healthcare to cover the cost of the subsidies making the meat of poor quality that made them sick.
