WASHINGTON — Americans are noticing higher prices at the grocery store, and it's about to get worse.

Food prices at the wholesale level rose last month by the most in 36 years. Cold weather accounted for most of it, forcing stores and restaurants to pay more for green peppers, lettuce and other vegetables, but meat and dairy prices surged, too.

The big questions are how long food prices will keep rising and how high they'll go.

1. The time is ripe for

REVOLUTION! Not sure if I heard that line in 'History of the World'. ;)

2. Fortunately, our grocer sells mostly local produce, dairy and meat.

Local wines, California-produced personal products, etc. We also buy direct from local farms and ranches.

The lower-and-fixed income people still shop Safeway, where the prices are really escalating. I suppose it is a comfort-zone issue.

3. beef prices for another couple of years...

the ranchers sold off just about everything they had to the chinese. so the herds are down and won`t rebound for at least 2 yrs.

just about everything depends on the corn and grain crops this year

6. How high can they go?

Pretty high. Once panic and hyperinflation hit, the sky's the limit. Won't be long, you'll be paying $5000 for a loaf of bread and then seemingly the next day it'll double. Its no secret... It is logically unavoidable.
