I don't get what this is meant to prove. The 1990s are often regarded as a golden era. So we're spending as much on food as we did in 1994 and that's supposed to make people unhappy?
I understand that housing/healthcare/education has gotten a lot more expensive since then, but saying that food prices are back to where they were in the 90s is not very persuasive for the idea that food inflation is making people unhappy.

- toomuchtodo 3y agoI don't think you're making the connection between financial stress and unhappiness. Decades ago, price to wages were very favorable. Now, they are not, causing financial stress across cohorts without much earning or purchasing power, leading to unhappiness. Food costs are component, but not the entire picture.
