WhyDoes food cost so much
1 In 1959 the average American family paid $989 fora year’s supply of food. In 1972 the family paid $1,311. That was a priceincrease of nearly one-third. Every family has had this sort of experience.Everyone agrees that the cost of feeding a family has risen sharply. But thereis less agreement when reasons for the rise are being discussed. Who is reallyresponsible?
2 Many blame the farmers who produce the vegetables, fruit,meat, eggs, and cheese that stores offer for sale. According to the U.S.Department of Agriculture, the farmer’s share of the $1,311 spent by the familyin 1972 was $521. This was 31 per cent more than the farmer had received in1959.
3 But farmers claim that this increase was very small compared to theincrease in their cost of living. Farmers tend to blame others for the sharprise in food prices. They particularly blame those who process the farm productsafter the products leave the farm. These include truck drivers, meat packers,manufacturers of packages and other food containers, and the owners of storeswhere food is sold. They are among the “middlemen” who stand between the farmerand the people who buy and eat the food. Are middlemen the ones to blame forrising food prices?
4 Of the $1,311 family food bill in 1972, middlemenreceived $790, which was 33 per cent more than they had received in 1959. Itappears that the middlemen’s profit has increased more than farmer’s. But someeconomists claim that the middleman’s actual profit was very low. According toeconomists at the First National City Bank, the profit for meat packers and foodstores amounted to less than one per cent. During the same period all othersmanufacturers were making a profit of more than 5 per cent. By comparison withother members of the economic system both farmers and middlemen have profitedsurprisingly little from the rise in food prices.
5 Who then is actuallyresponsible for the size of the bill a housewife must pay before she carries thefood home from the store? The economists at First National City Bank have ananswer to give housewives, but many people will not like it. These economistsblame the housewife herself for the jump in food prices. They say that foodcosts more now because women don’t want to spend much time in the kitchen. Womenprefer to buy food which has already been prepared before it reaches themarket.
6 Vegetables and chicken cost more when they have been cut intopieces by someone other than the one who buys it. A family should expect to paymore when several “TV dinners” are taken home from the store. These are fullycooked meals, consisting of meat, vegetables, and sometimes desert, all arrangedon a metal dish. The dish is put into the oven and heated while the housewife isdoing something else. Such a convenience costs money. Thus, as economists pointout: “Some of the basic reasons for widening food price spreads are easilytraceable to the increasing use of convenience foods, which transfer much of thetime and work of meal preparation from the kitchen to the food processor’splant.”
7 Economists remind us that many modern housewives have jobsoutside the home. They earn money that helps to pay the family food bills. Thehousewife naturally has less time and energy for cooking after a day’s work. Shewants to buy many kinds of food that can be put on her family’s table easily andquickly. “If the housewife wants all of these,” the economists say, “that is herprivilege, but she must be prepared to pay for the services of those who makeher work easier.”
8 It appears that the answer to the question of risingprices is not a simple one. Producers, consumers, and middlemen all share theresponsibility for the sharp rise in food costs.
