Many chinese people who have been to the United States think that Americans pay a little part of their money for food each day,Yet,in the latest 13 years,food prices have gone up 30% for most American families.Everyone agrees that the cost of feeding a family has risen sharply.But who is really responsible?
Many people say the farmers who produce the vegetables,fruit,meat,eggs are responsible.But farmers explain that the rise in food prices is very small compared to the rise in their cost of living.Farmers think middlemen have got much more money than they do.Middlemen are those people who stand between the farmers and the people who buy and eat the food.For example truck drivers,owners of food stores and so on.Are middlemen really responsible for higher food prices?
Economists do not think so.They have found that the money that meat packers and food stores get is less than 1% in all.They say that food costs more now because moderm housewives have jobs outside the home.They have less time for for cooking after a day′s work.They prefer to buy ready-made food.They want to buy many kinds of food that can be put on their dining tables easily and quickly.But of course they must be prepared to pay for the services of those who make their work easier.
It seems that the answer to the question of rising prices is not a simple one.Quite a number of people share the responsibility for the sharp rise in food costs.
