Did Consumer Advocates Talk the Price of Food Up?

Abstract

America, with over half its citizens never living in times other than those of food surpluses, suddenly found itself in 1973 unable to cope with or understand food shortages which face the majority of the people of the world every day. Strangely enough, it was those who expressed the greatest concern for rising food prices in America who were the most responsible for both the food shortages and the even greater food price increases that followed.
