Food inflation is at all time low the last 20 years.

Most of that is the most recent decade.

Still, food inflation is higher than median wage increases the past 20 years per SSI (average wage inflation is higher than the food inflation for the past 20 years. But the richest gainers are pulling that average number much faster than the median earners are increasing).

And there are always studies that refute the CPI as reflective of real life circumstances (food is excluded from the core inflation rates because the prices for food are deemed too volatile. Yet that volatility doesn't show in the food study... makes you wonder what info is used in the food study)
