The food prices are rising up in our school canteen because of the inflation due to the economy. I read a two-page comic about the inflation. It says that the average percentage jump a year is five pecent. But now, the jump is forty-three percent! Thats alot. People are demanding for more meat and rice. Rice is our staple diet and we need it more than meat. The animals such as cows and chicken need rice too. Thats why we are running out of food supplies. School foods prices are also rising up accordingly. Some students do not have enough money for buying the food in our canteen and I pity them. At the same time, we should have better quality of food for a fair price. We should have more variety of food like in Mr Tan's school days. Talking about quality, once I ate the prawn mee dish from stall 4, I was in my bathroom, suffering from food poisoning, the whole day! I really think this is unfair.
