Food Prices Rise At Fastest Rate In 17 Years
From the article:
"NEW YORK — Steve Tarpin can bake a graham cracker crust in his sleep, but explaining why the price for his Key lime pies went from $20 to $25 required mastering a thornier topic: global economics."
"The Food Bank recently got a letter of its own from a key vendor. Its grim message: Sorry, but the prices they charge the Food Bank would be increasing 20 percent, due to food inflation."
The next time you see corporate media trying to convince you that food prices are rising 4% or some ridiculous propagandistic nonsense, contact the Food Bank, and ask for a copy of their letter.
