The document discusses how severe weather, production constraints, and other factors are driving up the prices of 10 foods in the United States: 1) Beef and pork prices are increasing due to droughts reducing cattle and hog herds. 2) Lettuce and tomato prices are rising because of weather extremes damaging crops in key growing regions of California. 3) Milk, cheese, and salmon prices are high due to growing global demand and slower expansion of dairy farms and fish farms. 4) Bread prices may rise as hard red winter wheat supplies are down due to drought conditions in major wheat-growing states. 5) Nut prices are also expected to increase as California, a major producer, experiences a severe drought.
