and savings. I do like to use a bit of ground beef or other meat, at least for flavoring bean dishes and stews, but the explosive increase in prices will have me eating less. I just don't think it is worth it, and fortunately, I have simple tastes in routine foods most of the time. That said, one can eat only so much poultry (also increasing), and fish is quite expensive.

It is insane what Trump and his tariffs are doing to the cost of everything. But with his level of ignorance, arrogance, rapidly developing dementia, and sadistic sociopathic personality, I can't be suprised.
