This is almost laughable.
My two boys go through a gallon of milk in about 4 days. They power through a dozen eggs in the same time. In short they are eating machines. Meat, vegetables, fruit, rice, beans… if it doesn’t run away from them, they eat it. They chug OJ, gatorade, (we don’t drink soda) and again, alot of milk.
I am pretty sure that anyone with kids, especially boys will agree that food prices are up.
Anybody seen their water bill lately? Anyone care to comment on what the city of San Diego has done with fees for water over the past few years? Anyone care to comment on FLUs comments about SDGE?
Sure thing, no inflation, nothing to see here, just keep moving along.

January 28, 2011 at 4:52 PM #659207briansd1GuestSD Realtor, I’m not saying that food prices are not up in the last couple years.
But basic food staples take up a lower proportion of income compared to, say, the Reagan Administration of the 1980s.
Yes, food prices are up in the last couple years, but they are still lower than in decades past.
We just eat more now, and not to our own benefit.
My dad tells me that in the 1950s they didn’t eat the large steaks that we eat now. There were no double-doubles and the Big Mac was not yet invented.
