Food costs really are getting absolutely bonkers in the US. Seems bad, idk. https://t.co/gmraLOpTVz

You can tell the powers that be are lying about inflation by, like, just buying stuff.

Grocery items that cost us $100 total now ran about $35 two years ago. We can afford it. But the official inflation numbers (even in specific categories) are purely fictional.
