    I’ve spent the last year trying to figure out if it’s actually the prices or if I’ve become one of those “When I was a kid, gasoline was 25 cents a gallon” old men.

      Nah food prices have historically been pretty level due to the whole “bread and circuses” thing. The last year or two inflation has hit food prices harder than a lot of other things.

      The government will probably start funneling our tax dollars to these manufacturers so that politicians can brag about lowering food costs while executives keep their pockets full. It’s a win - win scenario for them. We’ll just ignore where that money came from like funding for schools and roads.
