Has the price of Vegatables gone up with gas prices?!


Question: Has the price of Vegatables gone up with gas prices!?
Just wondering if the prices of being a Vegetarian have risen as much as meat!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Veg prices have gone up because of the reason other posters have said!. About meat prices - I wouldn't know, I don't buy meat!.

But answer me this - what two business receive subsidies from the US government so that business owners can sell their product at the same price but actually sell it at a price that is under what it costs to produce that product!?

The Meat Industry and the Dairy Industry!. They receive billions of dollars from the government to help with the cost of producing that product!. Vegetable growers do not receive these subsidies!. A lot of powerful people own stock in the dairy and meat industries!.

If the government spent as much money on the veg industry as it spends on these two, you wouldn't see the price of veg go up either!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Meat prices haven't risen!.( ours haven't yet) If anything you are paying more as a vegetarian because of the price of grains and fruits right now!.
The market is flooded with beef because farmers cannot afford to feed their stock!. Meat prices have actually gone down!.
Grains, corn, wheat, barley, hops - all going up up up!.
Thanks to shortages and the push for ethanol and biodiesel!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I live in a large city and the price of neither meat nor vegetables has risen for me, personally!. However, I do buy meat at one store and produce at another to take advantage of the best overall pricing!. I give my meat order to another person and they give their produce order to me and we shop separately!. Keeps fuel costs lower for ourselves too as my home is between their's and the store they shop at, so they just stop by on their way home and neither of us has to go to 2 stores!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Everything has gone up, more expensive oil means more expenisve deisel!. More expensive deisal means that trucks delivering everything have to charge more!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The price of EVERYTHING has gone up with the price of gas!. Even a diet staple like rice has dramatically increased to the point that stores are limiting shoppers as to how much they can buy!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Every thing is affected by the cost of "delivering" the product!.

Elementary economics my dear Watson, elementary!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
