Ron Nixon, The New York Times’ “Business Day”
column writer, writes about the affect of the worst drought will strike up the
food prices. The author gets attention from the audience from her title stating
the prices of food will rise, because it will affect every citizen who lives in
United States of America. As for the poultry category, the price is estimated
to rise more quickly. Chicken, beef, dairy products, eggs and pork are
estimated to raise at least one percent. But Daniel R. Glickman, the agriculture secretary for former
President Clinton, says that meat price may lower and may become good in the
short-terms. While most of the products are getting affected by this
major drought occurring this year, the fruits and the vegetables are not having
any issues with the crops. From the response from the U.S. consumers, most of
the crops progresses are being rated as poor or very poor and very few products
are rated as good or excellent.
Ron
Nixon’s purpose in this essay is to inform the audience what to expect during
this season’s food prices. For the consumers of U.S. to be alert to what is
going around this summer season in America can be very difficult to face, making very clear what is to come later on through out the year. The author seems to use a very calm tone, explaining the reasons why it food prices with rise.
