It takes trucks to deliver these items to the store, and they use diesel fuel. The cost has to be pushed on to everyone. Food prices went up because of fuel costs. It is not going to stop there....

our armed forces(airforce) "makes" gasoline from coal

synthetic gasoline was developed in the 80's....

yet, we as consumers don't have these options.....how high before we do...

I spent 70 bucks at wal-mart the other day, hardly got anything to show for it. Especially when you buy fresh fruits and veggies, it gets expensive. I got some stuff to make soup, salads, sandwhiches, and fruits, and few other basics like soap and shampoo.

You are exactly correct!!! The American people are going to go through a depression.....It's coming so watch out!!! While our government is sitting high and pretty on their $300,000/year salary, company gas cards, company cars, company credit cards, company airfare, company hotel stays, private yachts, etc, etc, etc..... Guess who pays for all of this......You got it!!!!:angry: :angry: mad explode

I planted tomatoes and bell peppers, plan to grow more produce. They are killing us with these prices, but nobody in Washington seems to care. We are headed for a recession and fast. I make three times the minimum wage. I don't see how people making minimum wage can survive, people are stripping copper out from under peoples houses, Robbery is up 19% in Georgia from this same time last year. But not to worry folks, all is well in the middle east.

Ya know with the price of just about everything going up and our wonderful govmnt. sending our those tax rebate checks. For single person as myself......how far do they really think $600.00 is going to go.....or $1200.00 or $300.00 for someone who made less then three thousand last year.

Oh I am not complaining that my rebate will be here soon...but I don't plan on spending it unless it's absolutly necessary and for me just the necessities of life (gas, food, meds. etc) are necessary.....so I see that lasting maybe 2 months.

The use of corn in ethanol is pushing food prices up also. Ethanol is a great idea, but we could make it from other vegetation.
