Wendy's/ Arby's Group Warns on Rising Beef Prices

Wendy's/Arby's Group Inc's quarterly profit fell short of Wall Street expectations and the restaurant chain lowered its 2011 profit forecast citing rising beef prices.


Cheer up, though, there is an opposing view from Paul Krugman on the rising prices:

....there’s nothing here to suggest any reason to consider inflation a problem.
