Food Costs Rising Fastest in 17 Years

This sure is another big negative for the economy and for the typical man in the street.

  • China and India growing affluence demands more
  • Weakening USA Dollars buy less
  • Staples like corn are converted to ethanol and so on
  • Farmers growing more profitable crops
  • Global warming effect, what used to be productive now isn’t

All these adds up to more money chasing lesser goods and that results in inflation.  A negative factor when the Fed are considering lowering the interest rates.
