In my opinion:
The high cost
It seems Canadian consumers
are continually complaining
about the high cost of food in this
country.Many people living
today can recall when they u6cd
to be able to bring home bread
from the nearest supermarket
for ten cents a loaf, and steak for
50 cents a pound. But they seem
to forget that at that time they
also brought home much smaller
paycheques at the end of the
week than they do now.
Statistics show that Canadians
today are not spending more of
their paycheques on food but
actually less. In 1950 it took 37
minutes of work in order to buy
one pound of beef, while today it
takes only 17 minutes of work to
purchase a pound of beef.
Compared with other coun-
tries, Canada is well off. A recent
survey showq that Canadians
spend 13.6 her cent of their
disposable income on food, the
Lowest of any country in the
world. Many other countries such
as Japan, Britain and Italy spend
betweetl 20 per cent and 30 per
cent of their disposable income
on food, while some Third World
countries spend all their wages
just to ensure ,a food supply

a promising season.

of living
go shopping they stop in at a new
car showroom to get a price on a
second car. They may go down to
the electronics store to buy a
second color television and a
stereo to put in the new addition
they built on their house. By the
time Canadians reach the
supermarket they have run out of
money. Food becomes the object
of circumstance and since it is a
human characteristic not to
blame oneself, they blame their'
empty pocketbooks on food.
I have nothing against luxuries
in life. On the contrary, I believe
that if we were smart enough to
develop this country into a
country as wealthy as it is we
deserve a few luxuries. But when
we need to cut back on our
spending, let us do without a few
of the luxuries in life, instead of
trying to cut our spending on one
of the basics of life, food.

WHO SAID IT?
"If a man empties his purse
into his head, no one can take it

"There is nothing so stupid as
