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.

很多到过美国的华人认为美国人在日常饮食消费上花的并不多,然而对于多数美国家庭来说,最近13年食品物价上涨了30%.用来购买食物养家的费用急剧上涨已成为人尽皆知的事实,但是到底谁该为此现象负责呢?
很多人说该由那些生产蔬菜水果、鸡鸭鱼肉的农民负责.但是农民会解释说跟他们自己生活的费用相比,食品价格的上涨实在是微乎其微.农民们觉得,那些中间人比他们富裕多了.所谓中间人是指那些夹在在农民和买菜吃菜的人之间的人.比如开卡车运货的、食品店老板之流.那是不是应该让这些中间人来负责呢?
经济学家们可不这么想.他们发现那些肉类包装商阿,食品店阿,所得的钱连1%都还不到.他们说食品现在这么贵是因为现代家庭主妇不在家呆着而出去工作了.她们一工作就没时间天天下班之后还做饭,而是喜欢出去买现成的.她们想买五花八门的、可以简单迅速的端上饭卓的食物.不过这样一来她们当然得做好给这些帮她们省心的服务付钱的准备.
看来要回答这个问题还并不简单,很多人都应该为食品价格暴涨负责.
