Food prices are increasing quickly. I know there are countless factors, but how much of it is ethanol, subsidies, currency inflation, and other forms of government interference?

I purchased two egg mcmuffins at McD’s last sunday and it was almost $6.00. Crazy.

True ethanol plays a huge part in food costs it drives corn prices up.

It is a better value now to go to a full service restaurant to eat than eat fast food. Yes, the full service costs a little more but not that much more when you consider how much better it is.
