Food Costs

pm-gr-foodprices-462-04I was poking around at statistics on food spending this morning and came across some interesting charts.

We spend way less on meat and more on processed food that we did in the past. That info probably comes at no surprise. People are busier, so they buy frozen dinners instead of cooking from scratch. No surprise. But that isn’t the whole story.

People may be spending less of their food budget on meat, because meat is much cheaper. All those horrible meat processing factories have lowered the cost significantly.

Do you buy ethical meat? Or is the cost just too prohibitive?
