A simple check shows this is false. The "Cereals and bakery products" category went up by 28.6% since January 2020, compared to 17.9% for "Fruits and Vegetables". You get similar conclusions if you use compare against January 2005. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/CUSR0000SAF111 https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/CUSR0000SAF111 https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/CUSR0000SAF113 https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/CUSR0000SAF113
