Convenient chart on how much the average Egyptian spends on Food...You will hear more and more about the link between food and upheaval...

This is a chart of roughly how much the average Egyptian spends on needs and wants.  I assume this is typical of a citizen in a relatively low income country.  Food is a very large part of their budget and when prices increase it imposes a disproportionate burden on the family budget.

    February 2 is spelled incorrectly in the Macroeconomics section. It says "Bebruary 2"
