Inflation is landing in America’s refrigerators -- and it’s hitting meat-eaters most of all.
About one in three U.S. adults say they’re spending more on groceries than they were at the start of 2021, according to a Morning Consult survey of 2,200 U.S. adults conducted May 17 to 19 for Bloomberg News.
