The consumer cannot easily substitute non-foods for foods, therefore economists say the demand for food in general is inelastic. Although changes in food prices may have little effect on how much we eat, they can affect Consumers' dietary patterns, says Tom Elam, University of Illinois agricultural economist. The total amount of food each U.S. consumer eats in a given year is fairly stable. This is possible because of commodity buffer stocks which are available to meet any production shortages. Using up these stocks generally means higher prices, adds Elam. The demand for specific food items, however, is more price- elastic. explains Elam. Con sumers can. and do. substitute one food for another. For example, if pork prices remain about the same while beef prices rise, housewives pur­ chase more lower-priced pork. If the prices for all meats rise, consumers may buy more Dread and potatoes and less meat This shift from meat will" prevent shortages It will help increase future meat supplies, eventually dropping meat prices In the meantime, the shift to other foods may in­ crease these food prices somewhat The consumer does not care which farmers' wheat or beef he buys, says Elam The demand for the farmers' products is a derived demand. The consumer's demand is for steak or bread, not beef or wheat. But before reaching the consumer. the farmers' products must pass through a number of processing steps, continues Elam. Each of these processors has a demand for goods from the next one on down the line. Thus, retail food prices are reflected back to farmers. If the farm price for a particular item is out of line with production costs, farmers will plan to produce more or less of that item depending on whether they are making profits or taking a loss The big difference between agriculture and most industries is that farmers must deal with biological cycles and weather in planning production, ex­ plains Elam. Today's supplies of most individual food items were determined by farmers' decisions and weather man months ago Consumer demand changes are also affected by incomes, changes in peoples' tastes and preferences and the number of people wanting the item. But these change very slowly. The major factor that affects the demand and price for a food product is the ease with which the consumer can substitute that item for another as sup­ plies change, concludes Elam American Legion Auxiliary News 3 There's An Answer (by Norman Vincent Peale and Ruth Stafford Peale) No Faith In Self Q. I keep searching for something to do with my life, but I don't have any desire or dedication. I've been convinced that I'm always going to make a mistake, and because of my fears I always blow it. I find it hard to have faith in anyone because I don't have faith in me. How can I help myself? A. You area victim of a long-held mental image of always seeing yourself as making a mistake and being a flop. There is a deep tendency in the human mind to become precisely as one pictures or images one's self as being. Why not use the imaging process positively and creatively? Think up a goal. Hold it tenaciously in your mind. See or image yourself as achieving that goal. That image can likewise become a fact. I hesitate to recommend one of my own books, but everything I would tell you is in The Power of Positive Thinking. Perhaps it will help you as it has helped others in similar situations. Rejected By Friends Q. I had thought I had plenty of friends and a warm family until my husband was transferred here from another state. I have written them all at least several letters, sent cards and tried to keep in touch, but there is no response. I had always called them and made a point of visiting them often. I guess I needed them more than they needed me because they seldom would call on me. They were always happy to see me, so I wonder if I made a pest out of myself. Believe me, I feel rejected, rebuffed, put-off, lonely, resentful and on and on. I try not to feel sorry for myself, but boy! Every once in awhile the resentment comes and hits me over the head like a hammer. Please help me. A. When you move away from a locality it is a fact that the relationships you had in that place tend to disintegrate. In the very nature of the case you are out of the circle. The people back home still like you-but due to removal from the locality, you are no longer an active factor in their daily lives. This is just the way it is, and it does not mean in any sense that you are rejected or rebuffed. Put them on your Christmas card list, and start again by making new friends in your new community. Donating Body For Research Q. Is it against God's plan for us to donate one's body to. a medical school for anatomical study? This involves cremation of parts unused and the ashes they will bury in the hospital cemetery. I have reasons for wishing to do so. First of all, it would help the living at some future time, plus save all those funeral expenses which are so immense today. A. The physical body, while a marvelous instrument in itself, is actually for the purpose of housing the personality, the real you. When your real self no longer needs the body because of the eiid of your physical life, then the body is discarded. It is to be treated honorably, of course, and is buried or cremated with ceremony. To leave the body to a medical school for study so that disease may be conquered for people yet living is likewise honorable treatment, and such humanitarian use cannot possibly be against God's will: If there is something you would like to ask Dr. and Mrs. Peale to discuss in this column, write to them in care of Box 500, Pawling, NY 12564.
