[quote:Anonymous Coward 79422414:MV80NzU4MDg3Xzg2NjkzMzA0X0YzNTQyNzA=] Thanks to suger and bacon I gained the covid 20. It will be a lot easier to lose it now. I went through a 5 lb pag of sugar in just a few weeks, and that was just for my coffee. I have no idea why since now I drink with no sugar and it's just as good. Most of us are highly addicted to suger, so much so that if you try to stop cold turkey you will become suicidal, and I'm not exaggerating. You have to wean off of it. You also have to stop drinking commercial orange juice, that's another mistake I made during the past year. I started to drink it strait; that stuff is not real OJ, it has more sugar than soda does and artificial flavors in it. Never waste a crisis, that can work both ways. If all of America cut back and lost the wieght, you'd see the price shoot down as well. As soon as we withold our consumer power they respond! The world needs a lot less sugar. I'm shocked how many bakeries just opened in Nashville, as well as candy shops and new coffee shops. Sugar and carbs everywhere. What happend to salad cafes, remember them in the 90s? They were all over the place. One palce used to make something called horts de verts or something essentially lightly tempura style fried greens to top a salad. It was so easy to get healthy food it seesm like it's such a challege now. When Whole foods went corporate then sold out to Bezos it really spoiled the health food industry. [/quote]

From the article:
"Shoppers had better start budgeting more for their grocery bills, according to the latest consumer price index, which shows prices are increasing — and they’re
likely to keep going up
.
The monthly consumer price index, released Tuesday morning by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, showed a 0.6 percent increase in March, the
largest one-month increase in nearly a decade
. Over the past year, prices have increased 2.6 percent overall."
One example is bacon is up more than a dollar a pound in some major cities. Supply problems are causing most of the increases and those problems are not going away thanks to Biden and liberal state governors. And it is going to get worse.
This is a very good year for everyone to start growing a garden.
