Food Prices Are Soaring

In the year through November, food got 10.6% more expensive, with grocery prices rising 12% and menu prices jumping 8.5%, not adjusted for seasonal swings, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said Tuesday. In that same period, overall inflation rose 7.1%, reports Bloomberg. Food inflation is outstripping other inflation.

CNN blames Putin, weather, disease, supply chain, and interest rates, but Bidenomics is the real problem.
