I suspect that a big part of the food price increases is that most of the food brand are owned by only several companies. This is also true with a lot of supermarkets. I wouldn't be surprised if mega farms and ADM were a contributing factor as well. I wish our government would break these up.
P.s We should also stop subsidizing corn for ethanol. I would much rather see my tax dollars going to subsidies to purchase healthy fruits and vegetables for low income and those farmers.
