Steven,

You assume correctly, I live on Maui. You would be amazed at things
here.
My husband (45 years old) makes $7.00 an hour at his job. I'm a
free-lance
computer tech, so my salary varies...

I should send you a link to the Maui News Letters to the
Editor.....LOTS
of
people complain there about food and gas prices. Oh, by the way, the
price
of gas is $2.37 cents a gallon.


Well, my thoughts on this thansgiving are both with you/Hubby and with
my family.

Yours for good luck in the future under economic circumstances that
would knock me for a loop..and mine for living in Massachusetts (where
the economy stinks...I was unemployed for 9 mnths but have found the
wonders of healthcare employment with my wife), for eggs are $1.20 and
milk is $1.99 for 1%, and gas has dropped to around $1.55 per gal.

Do me a favor...do send me the link...I'm seriously interested, not in
visiting, but in how people deal and stick up for their rights in your
area.

Time for a Hawaiian President!

Happy Thanksgiving!


Don'tcha want to visit PARADISE?

Tee hee,

Kilikini...apologies...where are you? I was assuming Hawaii? This is
very intersting subject that may be off topic to this group, but If
above is true. I'm astounded. I can understand high prices but not
average salary.

This sounds like an environment where people die daily at a high rate.

I'm familier with island living (though no where near as far off coast
as you may be) it sounds like there should be crippled beggars on the
streets like the Dominican Republic and Haiti.

$1.69 a dozen.

Does anyone know the reason?

Several reasons: 1) reduction in numbers of laying hens because prices
were too low for producers to make money. 2) slaughter of flocks for
meat. 3) increased demand because of low-carb popularity. 4) holiday
season.

Ok, I'll top post since you did. :-)

Winter, the hens "moult" and egg production goes down.

I have an organic egg customer that is none to pleased right now as I've
been unable to supply him now for the past month.

Oh well!

Yes. Sheldon, in an unusually festive mood, has been gleefully
stuffing them up people's, er, well, we won't go there. Let it
suffice to say that he has skewed demand drastically.

Several reasons: 1) reduction in numbers of laying hens because prices
were too low for producers to make money. 2) slaughter of flocks for
meat. 3) increased demand because of low-carb popularity. 4) holiday
season.

Another reason.
Buckeye Farms has been court ordered to close.

The company is German, I guess, but the eggs come from a local
company.

Holidays may not necessarily be the answer. Price of eggs (and
chicken) has gone up here in Honduras also...and there is no tradition
of holiday bake-a-thons like in the US. Perhaps Cargill, ADM, and all
the other agribusinesses involved with feed production have increased
their prices.

I've heard there is such a housing shortage in Hawaii that people are literally
living in tents on the beaches because there are not enough houses. Nice place
to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there.

As more farmers go out of business, the price is most certainly going to go
up to make up for the difference. It is just one certainty we have in
America.

If the price of gas goes up (which it has yet again) then so does the
price of feed since it has to be trucked. The eggs, in turn, also have
to be trucked.

The price of tomatoes has also doubled, and there are no more imports in
the store than there was when they were "in season".

Just my guess. :-)

O...M...G!!! I'm soooo glad I don't have to pay prices like that! I just
went to the store today and milk (whole) is $2.37 gal., eggs are $1.19
for 1 1/2 doz., and butter is IIRC $2.79 lb here in Michigan.

In my part of New Zealand eggs are around $2.30 or so a dozen, milk is
$1.65 per litre (1 US gallon is around 4.5 litres), butter is $2.20 per
pound.
