This makes us more incline to import most of our crops, making our food more expensive. in this article he explains that when one section goes up in price it will inevitably affect other sectors "High commodity prices will translate into higher meat prices because the cost of feeding cattle, pigs and poultry with grain will go up, forcing producers to raise fewer animals." (neuman, william). this means that as one commodity rises the other one is sure to follow because they are directly interconnected. And as the demand for food remains constant we will just have to settle for the rising prices. Unless we turn to fastfood. The cheap convenient alternative to feeding your whole family. How fast food manage to keep prices so low will be explored in another source but the process of keeping prices low leaves us with un-nutritious and heath destructive food. the rising prices of groceries are sort of the incentive fast food thrive on to keep people coming back to their low cost convenient savory ( to some) food.
