This article explains how local pizza parlors are dealing with dramatic increases for ingredients to make pizza. It's just not here but every where. Monkeyfister posted this from Financial Times an article on rising food prices that are not going down. NO SHIT CISCO!In July of '06 some rapid changes were beginning back in the cornfield. In April of '07 sent this to friends to inform them that what we had been hearing was true. When I left the cornfield last Friday corn was $4.86 a bushel and beans were $13.26. Two years ago it was $2 corn and $6 beans. The post above explains the increase in land values and an article I read while back there stated land prices had risen 24% in the county I was at in '07 alone.
We are starting to see the beginning of the end of cheap food in this country. This is part of the pay back for starting wars based on lies outsourcing jobs and industry and financing much by incurring massive debt. The decline of the empire is here now!
this is will start the masses moving hopefully----
ReplyDeleteI shoulda paid a hell of a lot more attention to my Grandparents who grew up during the Depression.
ReplyDeleteThey had a garden every year and even went a couple hundred miles round trip to get fresh fruit and veggies they didn't grow to can.
Things are going to get ugly.
Damn you for teasing me repeatedly with these trout fishing pictures!
ReplyDeleteMy only solace is remembering that you are ass deep in snow right now.
Crap, I think I went fishing once all year last year, no twice. I have to get a new license now too.
Right now everything around is closed, maybe the Sturgeon is still open 3 days a week.
Shit.The Columbia River is five blocks from my trailer.
I need to go fishing and take a break.
