Two articles in one and try to answer today's question.
High food prices, they are going to get higher, yes if the price of fuel don't come down. Now we have all complain about the high cost of fuel, but so far nothing is being done to bring it down, why, I don't know maybe someone else does.
Grocery removal taxes, I agree with Mr. Goens, that tax should not be paid on food, but we all know if they take it off, the old saying goes, take from Peter to pay Paul. If they would simply remove the tax and leave everything else alone than that will be great, but it won't happen, why I don't know maybe someone else does.
"are you eating out less because of rising gas prices", most of us yes, most of us no. But the fact is if more people eats out in restaurants the price of food will be past unto the customer. If we eat out less, than there are two choices for the restuarants, lower the food prices or go out of business.
So it's a boom for one and a bust for another. We just can't win.
