Robert Reich, Heather Lofthouse, and Michael Pollan talk about why food prices are so high. Their conclusion:
Supply-chain interruptions in the pandemic resulted in higher prices. Then when those interruptions were gone, the food industry kept the prices high to generate profit that goes to top execs, and with a small number of players controlling all of this, there's little incentive to lower prices.

#Cooking is a really hard job, and there are many parts of #LongCovid that make it even more difficult. I get heart palpitations, dizziness, headaches, nausea, among other things from #Dysautonomia.
