Why Food Is Getting More Expensive In The U.S.

The pandemic sent food prices skyrocketing amid a slew of supply chain disruptions, but food costs have been steadily rising over the past five years. The rise in prices can have serious consequences for the most vulnerable Americans. According to the USDA, 13.8 million Americans qualified as food insecure in 2020. Watch the video to find out how much food prices have risen, what's driving the increase and how businesses and policymakers can fix it.
The Biden administration said Wednesday it plans to take “bold action” to enforce antitrust laws aimed at meatpacking companies it says are causing beef, pork, and poultry prices to rise at the grocery store.
Even though beef prices have been rising, farmers and ranchers have been making less money, the White House said.
Climate change, labor issues, transportation concerns and other supply chain disruptions have been contributing to the rising costs over the past several years. The pandemic disruptions then sped up the rate of growth in prices.
These price increases have significant consequences for the most vulnerable Americans. The United States Department of Agriculture reported Wednesday that 13.8 million households were considered food insecure in 2020.
The Biden administration last month increased assistance for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or SNAP. Previously known as Food Stamps, the benefits were increased by more than 25%.
“It’s a combination of all these factors,” SuperMarketGuru.com editor Phil Lempert said. “It’s very difficult to say what did the pandemic do? What does climate change do? What is transportation do? So we’ve got to lump it all together. And we’ve got to solve them all together.”

Purchasing power of the dollar has been exponentially decreasing for years, aswell as other global currencies other than a handful. Prices of everything imaginable continuing to rise because $ is becoming less and less valuable for people. 10 years ago $10 was awesome because I could grab 2 chicken sandwiches and pay for the 30 mins of gas I use to get there. Now id be lucky if I could just get the 2 chicken sandwiches with the $10 let alone pay for the drive. People aint going back to work because its quite literally not worth it, especially min wage jobs.

    Inflation begins when dollars are printed. Printed dollars are a data input to the CPI. The CPI print is the feedback loop from printed dollars. Keynesians have been trying for decades to print dollars to create inflation-used as a signal to show the stimulus is working. Then before inflation gets entrenched, deflate by destroying printed dollars. The problem here is the Fed didn’t remove the dollars it printed to stimulate. So the higher prices are here to stay for a while. The dollar strength is transitory. You will see a weak dollar once those bonds the fed has on its balance sheet become difficult to sell as higher yielding assets will be more desirable to investors.

    Inflation is gradually going to become part of us and due to that fact any money you keep in cash or in a low-interest account declines in value each year. Investing is the only way to make your money grow and unless you have an exceptionally high income, investing is the only way most people will ever have enough money to retire.

    In terms of "being smarter" about buying food, what planet are these people on? Who among us on a tight food budget, does not already regularly shop by 'per unit' costs, store brands, frozen alternatives to fresh and buying what's on sale? And they forgot to mention shopping at outlets, food warehouses, farmers markets and other cheaper alternatives to standard grocery stores -if we have access to them. That's where they would find us (if they descended their ivory towers)... comparing labels and doing the math over by the sale shelves.

I don't doubt that urban farmer's markets are trendy boutiques bent on making rich people feel "in touch with the earth" and charge prices that make the rich feel special because they can afford them. But here, you get good prices on fresh high quality food and if you get to market just before closing you can get some great deals. We barter too because most of us are growing something useful. Our market farmers are mostly living on a shoestring so we're helping each other while building a stronger community. Totally hear you but two different worlds.

    Nah that'd be pointing out the real problem. They don't want to do that. Hell, a lot of places that have food waste will go as far as pouring bleach on the food they throw out so the homeless won't eat it, because they're worried about "liability" or something if someone eats food out of their dumpster. Too much effort (aka no profit) to try to set something up to actually use the excess food I guess.

And yet at the same time, corporate gods like aldi Kroger’s, Publix, hyvee, save a lot etc will literally throw away unsold food. Cause what sense does it make to give it away. Soon as they start giving away expired or almost expired food, will somehow make people think all they have to do is wait out the sale by date to get it for free.

The job doesn't really pay enough for me to think about eating three meals a day, I typically consume around 1200 calories a day. Every night I close I have to throw away more than 10 pounds of food. Sometimes I cry when I do it because id be so hungry. We can't take the food because the company wants us to pay for it so it gets thrown away. The price of the food has been going up but I honestly think it has more to do with offsetting the costs of throwing away so much food.

    i had been in restaurant business over 20years, this is the worst inflation i had ever encounter. the cost of product raised over 30-50%, labor cost also raised over 30%. but just like all the business out there right now, the company is struggling to keep the minimal price increase. we will see a increasing price on all product over a year or two when business cant absorb the inflation. and here the video didnt mention a word on inflation, and the extra PRINTED paper

    Its not the printed paper that is the problem, its the digital USD that has been "printed" by the large banks. Did you know only 3% of ALL usd is even printed, and for every $1 physical note that exists, there are $33.34 of digital usd. (1 : 33.34 ratio) . If youd like a documentary or 2 explaining just how this was allowed to happen, and how people didnt see it sooner, then I can reply with those. Sums up how the LARGE majority of USD is actually created by the large banks and not the federal reserve. The federal reserve creates and prints ALL physical notes, but since thats only 3% of USD its not even really effecting inflation at all compared to where the other 97% is coming from. In my personal opinion, based off socially how inflation is continuing to become more alarming. I think the federal reserve is only printing SOOO much now because people are losing faith or are worried and so are withdrawing funds from their banks, and due to the (1 : 33.34 ratio) of physical to digital their isnt NEARLY enough printed USD to reflect the digital USD. What I think we are seeing is a last ditch effort to try and stop the "run on the banks" and trying to print as much as people are trying to withdraw. But 3% is a too low starting point to only try and reflect the other 97% physically, and depsite their efforts I think soon at somepoint people will start being told "Sorry, we dont have any physical notes for you rn" and once that starts happening then its over.

Cargill CEO gets $5mil, Sysco VP of food Service Operations (cuz overall they do more than just food) gets $3mil, Tyson foods CEO gets $6mil (these figures reflect total compensation of salary, bonuses, etc). Good money for sure but we're not talking Bezos/Musk. These companies have a gross revenue stream in the 10's-100's of BILLIONS. In other words, the CEO's aren't capable of cutting prices and paying through their own salary decrease. A 1% decrease in revenue is orders of magnitude greater than their income. "Greedy Billionaires" isn't the answer here.

It's also worth mentioning that food deserts are a purely American problem -- the result of trying to force suburban zoning laws on city dwellers,. It's not a food problem but a city planning problem. The solution is to legalize sidewalk vending. And the idea that meat factories should be built without taking the health and welfare of the employees into account is pretty sick too.

    Glad I have the my amex card that gives 6% back on groceries. That should cover inflation for a while 🙌

    as long as you have a big family and buying your grocery in supermarkets that accept the card. You need to buy about $1600 before profiting from that cashback. If you manage to buy 6k worth of groceries in the year, you would make about 4.4% after fees which is what the current inflation rate is now as of September.
