Time for another Biden victory lap about how great things are while Americans can’t afford to buy food.
Despite all the lies, it’s not getting better. Even the USDA projects that it’s continuing to get worse.
Food prices are expected to grow more slowly in 2023 than in 2022 but still at above historical average rates. In 2023, all food prices are predicted to increase 7.9 percent, with a prediction interval of 5.5 to 10.3 percent. Food-at-home prices are predicted to increase 8.6 percent, with a prediction interval of 5.6 to 11.8 percent. Food-away-from-home prices are predicted to increase 8.3 percent, with a prediction interval of 7.1 to 9.6 percent.
Even if these numbers are correct, it’s only a few percent less than the price increases in 2022. Slowing the rate at which food becomes unaffordable is not a victory.
In 2023, prices are predicted to increase for other meats (4.7 percent), dairy products (7.2 percent), fats and oils (16.7 percent), processed fruits and vegetables (9.9 percent), sugar and sweets (11.5 percent), cereals and bakery products (12.8 percent), nonalcoholic beverages (9.9 percent)
And expect egg prices to keep getting worse.
Egg prices are predicted to increase 37.8 percent in 2023
Let’s check with Wall Street.
To Save Money, Maybe You Should Skip Breakfast – Wall Street Journal
With Americans spending an estimated $395 more on food per month, other consumer purchases are falling away leading to an economy in which people are working to eat.
A lot of items have gone up more than that.
Yes, I’ve noticed that too. Good thing I’m stocked up on eggs and TV dinners. I’m not going to starve any time soon.
Gee I didn’t know the left was so religious. They’re giving us a permanent lent .
Where we will have to fast forced high prices
They are very much so. The Climate god must be appeased. With human sacrifices, among other things.
Well all you peasant’s are just to stupid to see how everything is some much better under the direction of The Great Leader and your complaining about your situation is just annoying static distracting from his hard work undoing all the “damage” Trump did.

I recommend a quality meat thermometer.
Thanks Sid, that was Lenin’s solution also. During the mass starvation under Lenin, the peasants set up meat markets where they butchered the corpses of those starved to death, for sale as meat to those still alive.
“Waste not, want not.”
Fortunately, toothpicks can be whittled as needed.
It is almost like they planned this. Thank goodness that could never happen in the United States. Never!
Also remember that their has in the past been talk of taxing home gardeners on the vegetable they grow for self consumption.
That one will be revived soon.
Dems are zero sum, they think if we have more, it’s because someone else has less. If we have less, someone else must have more. They speak of sustainability, but nothing they do is sustainable.
It doesn’t affect the left’s criminal/terrorist army. They get everything for free.
It’s the working class who gets ripped off.
