Food Costs: We Complain While Others Starve
We complain about the rising cost of food on almost a daily basis. It seems we're always on the lookout for ways to get more for our money when we go grocery shopping.
At the farmers market we want more bang for our buck, even though it's likely to be the best freshest produce around.
Organic foods are better for you, but do we want to pay the premium price? No. Even when it's better for us, we want to stretch the food budget.
Here's a switch for you... as much as we complain about foot costs did you know that the average American spends only 5.7% of their income on food? All the while, the poorest nations have to fork over more than 50% just to survive on the barest of necessities. That kind of puts a different light on things doesn't it?
