Lael Brainard slams food companies for shrinkflation as WH attacks price gouging

  lol, what? American food portions have always been too big. We should applaud more reasonable portion sizes.

    If they were reducing prices at same time then it wouldn't be "shrinkflation". The movement by the WH here to blame companies is a bit silly IMO, but a response to the data they are looking up which shows prices going up on a per ounce level.

      Yeah, because there’s inflation.
      • fasthands9 3y ago
        Sure. But that has nothing to do with applauding smaller packaging in the abstract.
