' LU:E'S ry • GODERICR SIGNAL.STAR;THURSDAY,:, SE 'EMBER 12, 191--I''AGE 9. i ..r 4Y Jack..,�tdd"ell Last ' week I was discussing the, rather bleak outlook for food prices over the nextyear.1 mentioned the idea of sub- stitution for `low-income families and those, on "fixed in- comes, that' the constant spiral of food prices has' prompted people .to substitute poultry for beef and hamburger for steak. -But' even substitution is not much help any more as, the • costs of the substitutes have risen so drastically. . w .The latest report • of the National Council Qf Welfare published early thissummer was entitled "Prices and the Poor - a report on the low in- -come consumer in the Canadian market -place". The thrust of the report is that the poor have A heir own particular consumptio1 3 patterns and in- flation has ballooned most exorbitantly in the areas of ex- penditure of the poor. For example, when the rich and those on middle .incomes turned from steak to ham- burger recently to. ease their own pains of inflation, the traditional diet of the' poor skyrocketed. '- The report says that when food prices rise faster than the cost of living generally, the im- pact, is twice as great on those. with incomes below $3;000• as it is on those above. $15,000 because the, food component is twice as large in the budget of the poor. In other w.ords,'the lower a family's income, the greater the proportion of this income it .,.spends on food. Families . with incomes of less than $3,000 spent ap- proximately 21,9 percent of their income on food while families with, incomes over W1000 spent only about 13.4 percent df their budgets on food: Thus, any change in the price of food will have more than double the impact on those at'the top. The conclusion spelled out in this report is that the poor pay more to get less. This report poiuts°out that as the price of various ,products rises, most families will begin to substitute less expensive products. for 'more expensive ones. However, the price , of the product. which is being sub- stituted, will rise because demand has • risen. Families will be forced to buy less of it and make • their own sub- stitution to something further down the price scale: The substituti"on' process lessens the impact 'of price in- creases- four many families. Perhaps they might not like what they eat as much as before, but this is more a mat-. ter of taste. But what happens to. those families • who, are already buying the least expen- sive items? What can they sub- stitute? The answer, of course, • • o is that they are faced with the alternatives of either epen+ing a great deal more propor- tionally on food (anon -existent alternative where . a limited budget is already fully commit- ted ) or simply eating less. This is precisely the situation which the poor are havingtoconfront. For low income families the" reportt_ says that staples are fooda. such as hamburger, weiners, liver, potatoes, pasta and bread. But in: the 12 mon- , the covered by the Report,' from December 19,72 to December 1973,- the cost of these com..- modities rose much faster than the cost of food in general, hamburger jumped 35 percent, welners went, up 37 percent, liver 35 percent, potatoes 25 percent and pasta 40 percent. Bread , went up 22 `percent during the year. There is substantial, well documented evidence that the poor. -are- charged more for the same goods and services than are the non -poor. The fact of • the limited resources of the poor results in • the low-income market being characterized by factors such as lower sales volumes and ,slower turnovers' of inventory. 'This makes it relatively less attractive for merchandisers and leads to the charging of higher unit prices by detail outlets in these areas.
