I too, believe that food prices are getting ridiculous. A lot of places try to advertise healthy eating, but it seems that junk/fatty food is cheaper than healthy food. And people wonder why the world is becoming obese. Even bread and milk (the basics in most houses) are three times the price of what they were 10 years ago. The only way you seem to be able to get cheap milk is if your a farmer and milk cows (or goats) yourself and take it straight from the vat. The same applies to meat, reared yourself then put into the freezer seems to be the only way of gaining affordable meat. Vegetables grown in your own veg patch etc. But this can't always be guaranteed. Not everyone is a farmer or have land to graze beefys on, not everyone is able to grow vegs etc. The prices need to be made more realistic, especially for people with growing families.
