Hi Guys i am a food lover pleas give me an idea about cooking chicken because i am totally Depend on Restaurant to having chicken
Sadly it is the same everywhere.
It is not the farmer who profits nor the haulier, but the greedy supermarkets.
The mark up on the good is probably in the range of 300% if not more. If fuel goes up by a few pence then the tin of beans goes up a few pence.
But it does not cost that much per item to ship it from a to b. Yes it may cost slightly more but working it out per item it should not cost even one penny more as the cost is spread out hundreds of units.
In this country, a good few years ago, during the 70's there were many shall we say artificially made shortages of food stuffs, coffee, sugar, also there was a potato shortage. Most Brits did not eat pasta then and rice was only for puddings:D Subsequently the cost of potatoes went thought the roof. Being used to make do and mend the Brits sort other sources of carbs, using pasta and rice.
The consumption of potatoes never really recovered from then as many people preferred the alternatives. Since then we have not had these 'so called shortages' I think that the powers that be now realise that creating a shortage is cutting their noses off to spite their faces.
To increase their ever bulging pockets they have to create other ways of artificially putting the prices up and now they use fuel as the so called justified cost.

There will be no cost of living increase for people on social security this year or the next because they say fuel prices, food and heating prices have all dropped dramatically. I dont know where they buy their groceries or get their gas but it hasnt dropped here. It continues to rise. Gas is $2.70 a gallon and still climbing daily. Food prices are outrageous. Just the other day asparagus was $4 a bunch. Leaf Lettuce was $2.50 a pound. Bell peppers were $2.99 a pound. Horrible hot house tomatoes were almost $3 a pound and cherry tomatoes were $3 a pint.
