The video discusses the recent surge in food inflation, particularly in beef prices, which have risen by 40% in the last six months. This increase is attributed to a combination of factors, including higher packaging and transportation costs, labor shortages, and supply chain disruptions. The impact on consumer demand is evident as people shift to cheaper meat options.
