"Americans have been substituting apple juice for O.J. in their
refrigerators in recent years as prices for frozen orange juice * * * have
risen due to a squeeze on supplies.
"Americans have soured on orange juice over the past three decades.
Consumption has been halved between 1978 and 2008, to 5.5 gallons per capita
, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's latest available data.
While apple juice is second in popularity to orange juice, the average U.S.
consumer downed 2.1 gallons in 2008, more than double the amount in 1978.

("The predicament [of soaring catrfish prices] stems in part from what U.S.
farm-raised catfish themselves eat: pellets made of soybeans, corn and wheat
. The prices of those ingredients have jumped, causing the price of catfish
feed to double over the past four years")

("Under the guise of food safety, the 2008 Farm Bill directs the U.S.
Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety Inspection Service (FSIS) to
inspect catfish like it does meat products or eggs, except that no other
fish is under the regulatory thumb of the FSIS. Catfish is already
regulated by Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which hasn’t reported any
safety or health problems with the Vietnamese imports") |
