FYI.
All food prices are rising everywhere.
(I do not eat meat.)
– At $15.99/lb — I can no longer afford to eat meat (Intellihub, July 30, 2014):
HAIKU, Hawaii (INTELLIHUB) — I went to the local market today in search of a few steaks to barbeque tonight with my family and what I found may shock you.
Not only could I not afford the three cuts of steak I needed for the dinner I was going to whip up, to top it all off the steaks were very small by proportion.
At nearly $16.00 per pound I had to pass, looks like we will be eating a lot of rice and beans in the near future as meat has become unaffordable for most middle-class Americans.
