Where were you when you realized the only reason food was unaffordable was because of Democrats?

Gasoline is high in calories but also quite deadly for a human to consume. Why would you include it with food?

>>21906818
The gasoline kills any possible worms or bacteria

The price of gasoline/diesel fuel is core to price inflation in general. If trucking food from distribution centers to stores is expensive, then grocery stores have to raise their prices. If trucking costs drop, then food costs stop going up or maybe even decline a little.

>>egg prices $9/doz
still cant believe how insane this was

>>21907046
also increases farming costs not just also driving it to distribution centres then to the store but also the cost of fertilizer and pesticides ect

I remember talks of price fixing, which wouldn't do anything except make sure farmers just stop growing as much food or raising as much livestock
Very funny

With cocoa prices returning to previous lows, it is going to be interesting to see if Lindt will go back to cocoa and remove the soy lecithin. My guess is two things will happen:

1) They won't
2) The cost of existing products that still contain cocoa in place of soy lecithin will remain at the same price

There was all this hand-wringing about "gee whizz that cocoa is just so gosh darn expensive now we have to derive something from soy" but there will probably be nothing said about this

Produce has definitely gone up though, jalapenos and lettuce are depressingly expensive now.

Sometimes I wonder what it's like to have a room temp IQ and thankfully people like OP give me a little window into the lives of the mentally feeble. Thanks :)

Yes I agree, Jew shills are mentally feeble

Wow, i didnt realize Trump had the power to improve cocoa harvest yields in western Africa.

We're being told to eat beef liver now to save money, but actually, that's a good thing. Maybe when operation epstein fury finally brings peace to the middle east we will see grocery prices go down again.

>cocoa prices above $8000/ton
How come you gave the egg and gas in reasonable units but went full retard on cocoa? Who buys it buy the ton?
>>
>>21908384
The USDA reports commodities in standardized units but I'm too lazy to check if OP was using the standard commodity unit for cocoa or was being a fag.

I just saw lettuce at 3.79 a head. Granted, it was H mart and their produce prices can be a bit...bipolar, but I bought a bunch there for 1.50 like 3 weeks ago. Where the fuck are you at though? Jalepenos are usually 99 cents to 1.39/lb in Denver, less if ytou go to the Meximarts.

Frankly, I'm fucking surprised organized criminals haven't taken up on the market for cheaper groceries, we kind of saw the market spring up in cities like San Francisco when tweakers and fenty addicts were selling shit from drugstores for half price for drug money. But, eventually, do you think it would go like that for other groceries? I half expect in 15 years pop up markets with stolen groceries are going to be a thing.

Didn't last year's coffee and cocoa harvests get fucking raped for some reason by climate or droughts or some shit?

>>21907825
Democrats pounced on the egg prices meme when it was high to blame Trump even though it was obviously temporary due to avian flu culls. You don't get to complain now that Trump rubs low prices in your face
