Service costs rise while food shares shrink across the board
Representative Sidney Anderson argues that 49 cents of every consumer dollar goes to service, 37 cents to production, and 14 cents to profits. He cites changes from bulk goods to packaged items, bottled milk, and added dairy inspections and handling costs as examples of growing service charges in food. He notes that while service may be worth it, consumers are paying more for services than for the food itself.
