As the child of a single parent, food prices have always been an important matter in my household. Now, as a broke college student in a struggling economy, food prices are a top priority for me; as they should be for everyone else.

In the upcoming November election, the issue of the price of food and how it will be dealt with is immensely important to me. Over the last six months there has been a 41 percent surge in prices for corn, rice, and wheat. Wholesale prices have gone up 9.2 percent within the last 12 months. A recent trip to the grocery store has further opened my eyes to this dramatic increase in price; having to cut back on both quantity and quality of food. During this upcoming election, I want someone that will be able to make a positive change in the economy and bring down the cost of food.
