Your data seems...wrong. Or at least not consistent with my observations. Currency fluctuates significantly and one currency comparison tells us nothing. I've seen no evidence that food portions are smaller. Food prices don't seem to have doubled. Gas prices have definitely not doubled. I've seen no indication that health care costs have doubled.
If you want to claim that the CPI numbers are full of lies (because of a conspiracy?) then you need to bring serious evidence.

You need to pay more attention then, it's been nick-named the 'Grocery Shrink Ray' and practically all companies are doing it now. The strategy is basically either change the shape of the container (smaller) and keep the same price or to raise the price. Here is a good link to follow; http://consumerist.com/tag/grocery-shrink-ray/ http://consumerist.com/tag/grocery-shrink-ray/ Oh, and my favorite one yet, "Now with 25% more!" while not actually offering any more.
