What do you think about wholesale food prices having their biggest increase in 36 years?

Home More advice Jobs & Money

From what I read in the news, wholesale food prices in the US had their biggest increase year over year in February....bigger than can be accounted for by a "bad winter" or other annual disasters or seasonal issues. In Egypt, the rising cost of food was associated with the growing discontent....

...when you start graphing the decreasing dollar value with the increasing distance between the wealth of the richest and poorest in our country...well, I think the rising food prices mean CEO's of large companies should announce their taking home less pay and giving more to workers like Japan, where there is a 20% rule. OR do you think this food price increase is a non issue?
