It's about time people started complaining about the price of milk. Here in New Orleans the average price is $3.79 a gallon, nothing below $3.10. In fact, I was shocked last week to see Super Wal-Mart( which is generally much cheaper than the supermarkets)charging $4.69- $4.89 a gallon!!
Appalling, because we all know that far more than half of that price is the packaging and distribution.
Whenever I hear people scream that gasoline is up to $1.60 a gallon, I wonder if they would like a milk-powered car.

Huh?

You said: "$3.79 a gallon, nothing below $3.10. Super Wal-Mart charging $4.69- $4.89 a gallon!!
Appalling, because we all know that 'FAR MORE THAN HALF' of that price is the packaging and distribution."

I would tend to agree with you more if you said instead:

"far more than four fifths" !!!
