Sorry Sealion, I'm not wasting my life to show you stats you can easily get off of the internet. There are literally 5 very high profile search results that will give you historical food inflation values.
You just want to waste my time because no matter what source I give you, you will find an irrelevant detail that lets you shift the goalposts again and again, and I've been through that dance non-figurativley hundreds of times.
The increase in food costs is obvious to literally anyone who does their own grocery shopping. The fact you don't understand this either means you are being deliberately obstinate, or indeed, do not do your own grocery shopping.
In either case neither types of people deserve a moment more of my time.
Turns out food inflation as a portion of income is currently sitting at about 1% since 2000, and maybe 2% since 1990.
Ignorance is bliss though right?
