Interestingly I was just in Atlanta GA last week (lovely spot, incredibly friendly people) and I was shocked that food in the grocery stores was pretty much the same price as we pay in Canada and yet in the winter our food comes from the US. In other words it is trucked to us a long way. Economics is not as simple as some would like to make it...
If you want a food price shock come to Hawaii. We pay what's politely know as Island Tax on everything. Thank (insert your favorite deity here) for Costco!!
