I'd take this with a grain of salt, given the focus on the infographic and it's prices. I picked one ingredient at random, beans, and the in the first page of Google, there were two food suppliers offering them at a price halfway between the article's "before and after" prices. Similar story for rice.
So has inflation across the food chain driven up costs? Absolutely. Are businesses exaggerating the impact while raising prices disproportionately? Absolutely.
- reducesuffering 3y agoThe rice is also an example of some disingenious comparisons used, where he switched from a $25 / 50 pound bag of Long Grain rice to Jasmine rice at $42. Duh, Jasmine is a more premium rice. Don't use that as an inflation indicator unless you're comparing the same product.
