I had a side job on a crawfish farm when I was in school. It isn't easy and it isn't cheap. It requires risky financial investments and hard work. You go slog around in crawfish ponds for a while, deal with all the gov regulations, and put up money for the required investments, and then get back to us with what you'd like to sell a pound of crawfish for.

Capitalism isn't always ideal for the consumer, but it sure beats the alternatives.
