What About Food Prices?
Hl'MAN* memorio* are short. Tliis truism help* to explain
many h misconception which exists in peoples' niimlii. lake
for instance, the matter of food prices.
The "spread"' between the prices paid farmer* for food in
the raw material slant- and the prices charged the consumer at
retail has "increased. So it is periodically argued that this fact
virtually proves that retailers and processors and various middle-
men are exploiting both producers and consumers.
That argument conveniently overlooks a quiet little revo-
lution that has gone a long way toward transforming the foot!
business. Today store shelves are loaded with prepared foods
which are either ready to eat or nearly so. These have been
given an enthusiastic public response, for the obvious reason
that they cut the time and the work involved in meal prepara-
tion to levels which would have seemed fanciful a decade ago.
One study say* that a woman can save as much a« four hours of
kitchen work a day by using the prepared foods which offer
"built-in maid service.''
This preparation is expensive, in materials and labor. Rut
millions of people are willing to spend a little more in order
to save time and work. So an increasing proportion of retail
grocery business is found in the ready-to-serve foods—and so,
inevitably, the gap between raw material and finished food
prices increases.
American families, on the average, spend 32 per cent of in
come on food. But they could duplicate their 1935-39 market bas-
ket today for lt> per cent of income if they were satisfied with
the same foods they were buying then.
Finally, the profits earned in food merchandising totally
refute the charge of profiteering. The food chains, for example,
commonly earn as profit little more than a cent out of each
dollar they take in. Only volume enables them to operate.

In the past, much of the Negro's en-

its evil concomitants. In other words,
in the past, the Negro's frame of
