Why is food so expensive?

That's agribusiness for you. Get used to it, climate change is moving the crop seasons and yields.. Luckily you will still be able to afford it.. But for the half billion who wont be able in 20 years its going to get tough..

@whowasthatmaskedman are you referring to global warming? The amount they predict will make the earth wetter not dryer! Lol Egypt will be lush again, like in JCs time!

No.. I was referring to the poor countries growing food for export while they don't have enough to eat.. But some low lying countries and island nations will lose a lot of agricultural land as the water table goes saline..@SW-User
One reason is we've been losing farmers for decades and they aren't allowed to replant from seeds. Monsanto is so powerful they legally had a law passed that farmers had to use new seed.I don't remember it all but it was a wake up call years ago

7+ billion to eat, not many to do farming.

I think the same thing, why food is expensive

Because we're all complicet in the illusion sellers portray that it is expensive, and continually pay ridiculas prices for substandard crap. We complain to eat other never the profiteering sellers, when was the last time you said to your canvassing politician what about food prices?

When you have the munchies you eat more.
@Pfuzylogic Actually weed makes me less hungry. That's one of the reasons I smoke it 😂.

There you are!
It must make you absentminded too.😂
I'm speaking from experience when I smoked it continually in the 70s.

Labour cost can be one reason, raw ingredients etc.
