Consumer Buys Beef Despite Higher Prices
AP Business Analyst John Cunniff notes rising food prices will not curb beef demand as Americans’ spending power grows. Beef consumption climbs from 60 pounds per person in 1920 to an estimated 118 pounds this year, with chicken and pork also rising. Prices reflect subsidies, acreage limits, and efficiency gains, with ConAgra citing broiler production dropping from 250 to 15 manhours per 1,000 birds since 1940.
