If the government regulates food prices by subsidizing production

>>132918545
The fuck you talking about? "Food" isn't expensive.

>>132918545
Start a garden and grow your own.

Americans spend the lowest percent of their income on food per capita in the world.

>>132918545
unless you live in california or eat a diet of avocados and sushi food is pretty fucking cheap

$10 a day should be overkill if you cook your own food
I barely spend 100 a month

Food is dirt cheap in America. Go try to buy some beef in Canada and you'll see what most people pay.

>>132918545
Food isn't expensive. It's actually cheaper to eat healthier than dine on fast food and junk food.

>>132918987
I can build a healthy diet for a month for half of that in Poland.

>>132919232
you could do 50 in america to, I just like to buy soda and beer

>>132918644
It definitely is compared to food prices in Poland even after you consider the massive difference between Polish and American salaries.

And you do have some of the finest soil on earth too while we're pretty much stuck with half-barren wasteland due to millenias of inefficient agriculture.

>>132919051
Lowest price in the beef section at my local supes in Toronto is 4.99/lb in leafbucks. Wonder what it is in NY.

>>132918545
So, do you want subsidized production, or free markets?
Your question makes it sound like you think the two can successfully co-exist.
If they could, there wouldn't be a problem.

>>132919526
I was wondering how can your shit be so expensive when it's subsidized at the same time. You are getting fucked hard.

>>132919232
Yeah, and it would be half of your 200 euro salary

>>132918942
/thread

>>132920825
Not an argument. Your shit is still more expensive for no reason.

>>132918545
Ethanol is partly to blame. Also we give away too much of our food to the third world.

>>132918545
>Subsidising
>Free Market

>mfw burgerclaps only eat already processed food

>>132922202
That way they can get more soy into their systems and lower their testosterone levels.

>>132919765
I would suspect that what you're concerned about is something called "profit", which is pretty much whatever the market will bear at a given time. Prices are adjustable. Subsidies are political.

>>132924018
Americans should demand cheaper food on the streets, not stupid shit like equality for trannies.

>>132919051
so true man Fuck canadian/Alberta beef is expensive but Very good usually. due to regulations it costs more but better to eat.

>>132918545
Gmo is not expensive on organic food is expensive

>>132918987
Bullshit you do.

Poles spend 3x as much as Americans on food as a % of their household income. Sad!

>>132918545
>how come food in USA is so expensive
In my particular state, Kansas, food is so expensive because of sales tax. This is one of the slapdash methods of filling the deficit created by eliminating small business taxes and lowering taxes on the wealthy among educational and infrastructure cuts.

>>132918545
What is that? I looks like it could be either delicious or revolting.

>>132918545
false premise, shit thread

>>132924865
Young potatoes with cumin, oregano and mustard.

>>132925001
So delicious then. I had a feeling.

>litlrly any thing in america
>expensive

AAAHAAHHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>132921768
More expensive because we can afford to pay more. US still pays the least for food, as a % of income.

>>1329185459
I mean if you wanted a bushel of corn (25kg) trades at $3.40

You can make a shit ton of tortillas for that. But people just buy premade shit and the companies pocket the rest

Some sort of parm? Looks pretty OK.
The crispy cheese edges are the best.

Agricultural subsidies include price floors and supply restrictions.

Depends on where you live. Transport costs go into it

>>132924537
It's honestly not that hard to eat cheap. Stop shopping at whole foods.

>>132925753

Nice lasagne

>>132918545

Cheapest beef I purchased last week in Oregon is $1.19/lb, which'd be $1.50 Cdn, or close to it. It wasn't the best cut of meat, but any meat is good if you know how to cook it.

>>132918987

This.

Also get bare minimum meat and find protein somewhere else. Cheap af senpai.

>>132926907
Shit. My freezer would have been full at that price.

Ohio here and I haven't seen beef prices drop much at all. Kind of bummed with the news saying burger was way down right now. I haven't seen it.

To expensive...move to Canada and find out what expensive is. I think your mommy does your shopping.

>>132928050
12 of beer and a pack of smokes, ~$50, right?

How come its so expensive to eat healthy here? If i eat the processed shit sure its not that bad on my wallet but its fucking gross

>>132928627
A rotisserie chicken and bag of frozen broccoli might set you back $7 and give you 2-3 meals.

>>132928850

I spend quite a bit on food but that's only because I make a good amount of money now.
When I was poor, I lived off like $10 a week on food.

Stfu and eat your perogies then faggot.

>>132929443
Don't forget beans and the fact that you can buy that shit for 1/2 the price if you go to an ethnic grocery store vs. a regular supermarket.
