Based on the way he was quoted by R Vaye he is not a good example.

You guys need to take all these discussions to the halacha thread.
Some guys ruin every thread.

you chose the most extreme example. Clearly indicating that you have no understanding. Same with the salmon.
No doubt there's some price gouging and some monopolies in the kosher market but your doing a very poor job exposing them.

Whole side but sliced regular enough that it may be a sale but not a special one.

why do you think the same thing is not happening for all the Jewish items (meat, kosher branded items etc) just you have nothing to compare it to?
