If there's any silver lining to a recession -- albeit a thin one -- it's that consumer prices typically go down. Make no mistake, deflation is a sign of a sick economy, but at least the net effect of cheaper prices for the basic necessities -- food,

Some were warning us of this, that as the stimulus monies worked through the worlds systems that in the end we'd have high inflation AND a debt to pass onto our children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. You ain't seen nothing yet if we don't start pressing for a Moral Economy.

We Americans could ALL cut back on the food we not only buy, but the things we decide to EAT! I don't believe anything whatsoever has gone down despite signs and sales flyers galore out there! And that doesn't just go for food either.

this article says prices are going to go up as high as 5% by the end of 2010 not down. that we are exporting so much of our products it is raising prices here at home.

if the government would get thier act together we would not need to export most of what we grow.

i read several articles that said it is proven that if farmers would get out of the meat business and start growing plant foods not only would they make a profit our government would also and we could actually get our country out of debt. but too many americans are stuck on thier lust for animal flesh so crops continue to go for feeding animals and to other countries.

more poeple need to start cutting back or giving up the unhealthy, inhumane disgusing habit of eating meat and everyone would be better off.

we need to start living compassionate lives, and using our heads instead of our greed and lust to make our ecomony better.

Thank you Terry.
My comment: The government you have elected ( or that elected themselves) is inoperable.
No help there, So...
return to basics. Stop eating corp trash posing as food. It will make you sick.
