It's the small things

Ditzy, you are a wise person. You seem to focus on the quality of your words over the quantity of your words, and I respect you for that. It is this that keeps me reading your posts. You seem street-smart, and you are lovely.

As for anyone wanting to try binge eating, be careful what you wish for. If you were to try all the small habits that contribute to this, it may be hard to stop.

Price of food gone up

I intend to plant potatoes or something to make food. I also intend to get a more fuel-efficient car. Less money on gas, more money to feed people with. Waste not, want not. smiley It's a start.

Enas has good points and government can do a lot to help, but the danger with that is communist control. A wicked malignant narcissist may come into power and say, "You insulted me, you starve." This has also happened a lot. For example, North Korea. I'm not putting this on the government to fix as much as I am putting it on myself to fix. Maybe I make food cheaper and prices have to come down to match me.
we all have some power smiley

I got this list of possible causes:

Supply Chain Disruptions: Events like the COVID-19 pandemic, natural disasters, and geopolitical tensions can disrupt the supply chain, leading to shortages and higher prices for food items.
Inflation: General inflation increases the cost of goods and services, including food. When the overall price level rises, the cost of producing, transporting, and selling food also goes up.
Increased Demand: Higher demand for certain food items, whether due to population growth, changes in dietary preferences, or increased consumption, can drive up prices.
Labor Costs: Rising labor costs, due to minimum wage increases or labor shortages, can lead to higher food prices as producers pass on these costs to consumers.
Transportation Costs: Increases in fuel prices can make transporting food more expensive, leading to higher prices on store shelves.
Climate Change: Adverse weather conditions, such as droughts, floods, and extreme temperatures, can impact crop yields and livestock production, reducing supply and increasing prices.
Government Policies: Tariffs, subsidies, and other government policies can affect food prices. For example, tariffs on imported goods can make certain foods more expensive.
Commodity Prices: Fluctuations in the prices of key commodities, like wheat, corn, and soy, can influence food prices. When commodity prices rise, the cost of producing food items that depend on these commodities also increases.
Energy Costs: Higher energy costs affect the entire food production process, from farming to processing to distribution, leading to increased prices.
Global Events: International events, such as conflicts or trade disputes, can disrupt global food supply chains and affect prices.
Agricultural Input Costs: Rising costs of fertilizers, pesticides, and other inputs required for farming can increase the overall cost of food production.
Currency Fluctuations: Changes in exchange rates can affect the cost of imported food products. A weaker local currency can make imports more expensive.
Food Waste: High levels of food waste can reduce the overall supply of food available for consumption, driving up prices.
Technological Changes: While technological advancements can increase efficiency, they can also lead to higher initial costs that might be passed on to consumers.
Monopoly Power: Large corporations with significant market power can influence food prices by controlling supply chains and pricing strategies.
Speculation: Speculative trading in commodity markets can lead to price volatility and increase food prices.
Health and Safety Regulations: Stricter health and safety regulations can increase production costs, which might be reflected in higher food prices.
The first step in fixing a problem is knowing what it is.

Price of food gone up

Hello everyone,

I've noticed a significant increase in the price of food over the past year, and I believe this is a concern for many of us. Living in LA, I've seen some food prices nearly double, which can be quite challenging for our community, especially those of us who enjoy exploring different culinary experiences and sharing them with others.

I'm eager to understand the reasons behind this price hike and work towards finding solutions. If you are also interested in addressing this issue and want to collaborate, please reach out. Whether you're a fellow food enthusiast or a friend from church, together we can make a difference and ensure that our love for food remains accessible and enjoyable.

Looking forward to connecting with like-minded individuals!

It would be interesting if this website got the Nobel Prize for this. I know there are many causes, but I also know there are many solutions to each problem. My hope is to bring back low-cost food, so I’m starting with the man in the mirror.

god bless you all. live long and prosper.

Ditzy:
Narcissism is not a positive attribute and its too widespread these days.

There are some nice people on this site.
But Don't get me started on molignant narsisist.
They are a danger to everyone.
It should be in the part of this website ware they talk about the danger's of the web.
They pretend to be what ever you want at first.
Then later on they ATTACK you.
There is a spectrum to narcissistic personality disorder.
The best ones are just airigent pricks.
The worst ones can KILL just for installing them.
I had a very bad experience with one that would start lots of fires mess with cars and I think may have killed a few times.
And tried to blame me and others for the bad stuff he did.

Just be careful about Your blood chemistry.
If You fell bad slow down.
Even drinking to much water can kill.

Good luck with Your gain.
I hope You find food at the store.

I think lots of people will gain with being stuck at home for the vinous.

I went from 160 to 200 and am happy with it.
Though the stress has caused me to gain a little more lately.
I also got strong while gaining.
Its handy to be able to push cars up hill and stuff.
