Whats the problem? If I was a store owner there I would LOVE this! Now with the high prices everywhere, I get to make more profit and more MONEY!! :-)

@tatomuck18 Sorry, you don't seem to understand. He raises his prices because he is being charged more for the products. That doesn't really change his profit margin.

@tatomuck18 you are wrong----the store owner is just a middle man and his margins are getting decimated---prices are going up so fast he can't set a budget

possible cause? Just a scenerio i thought about..feel free to disagree...U.S going green=using corn and other food sources to produce fuel=increased cost of food in the US and the rest of the world =food supply becoming limited..

It is time to re-imagine society to use only renewable resources for power, and to grow with respect for the land and no chemicals. The prices will likely continue to rise. What would YOU do if you could not afford to eat?

Don't you worry! It's gonna get *ALOT* more expensive EVERYWHERE!!!!!! OHHHH... I only hear people complain on youtube so I KNOW NOBODY will put up a fight.

@stonerj0e the 2008 food price rise was a short term (6-8 month)spike---- the 2011-14 price increases are going to stay for a very long time
