[quote=Anonymous]I remember reading somewhere that Americans spend a much higher lercentage of income on housing and health care and Europeans spend it on food. I’m American born and raised but I’m always a little surprised about how people grouse about food prices. Like farm fresh eggs — yeah they are more expensive but still only about 40 cents an egg (that’s five cents per gram of protein). It’s one of the big policy reasons why legislators and regulators won’t mandate more food safety or quality (like banning antibiotic use in food animals)—it will raise the cost of food. So instead our healthcare costs go through the roof. My preference would be to regulate food more heavily, incentivize fresh/local/natural food and be more generous about food stamps for people that need them. [/quote]
