  If regular at-home food actually was starting to eat up a lot more income, that would be an interesting discussion and a significant change for our society (as that has been trending down for a while). So I get why that would be interesting. But the article doesn't differentiate between those, only the linked source.

  Because those charts don’t line up with the average person’s lived experience. Even well paid tech pros on this forum are noticing it. I cooked some steaks for Valentine’s Day. Cheapest ones I could find were $15/ea. 2 years ago I cooked steaks for Valentines Day and they were like 8 bucks. Maybe overall in aggregate there’s one metric but when you notice a lot of stuff at the grocery store has DOUBLED in price in just a few years, it’s concerning. also that chart stops in 2022 and there is still a noticiable uptick despite the very long scale.

    The claim that retail steak prices have doubled in 2 years is exactly the kind of inexplicable silliness to which I referred. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/APU0000703613#0 https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/APU0000703613#0
