Lyn linked to Preemptive Karma: You Think Gas Prices are Bad ..., which pointed to a Minneapolis Star Tribune article that pointed out that food prices are rising faster than gas prices.
In the past year, food prices have increased 3.7 percent and are on track to jump by as much as 7 percent by year's end. The current increase is more than double the 1.8 percent jump seen the year before, according to the consumer price index.
