Time Magazine this week (pdf. article) has examples of food prices that have gone up since 2003:

Wonder Bread up 74% Boneless center-cut pork chop up 124% Farmland Skim Plus milk up 38% Arnold Stone-Ground wheat bread up 36% Rib-eye steak up 64% Carr's water crackers up 39% Bird's Eye frozen sweet corn up 28% Bananas up 41% Bird's Eye frozen baby peas up 21% Diet Coke up 10%

Notice the crap on the list-the Diet Coke- is the price that has inflated the least. I am too tired to speculate about the meaning because I am too busy trying to feed a family of eight nutritious and palatable real food on a budget.

I am running out of all those bright ideas I used to have.
