Given that there’s an obesity epidemic in the United States, we would benefit long term from such high food inflation IMO. It will force people to reach for cheaper, healthier options, or simply go without food and use up their fat stores. The poorest are often the most obese here.
Imagine being so avoidant to having self control that you would rather have higher food prices, I cannot even comprehend this
It's not hard not being obese, just eat less. Yes, that means having a degree of control over your actions, taking responsibility and not stuffing yourself with dopamine inducing fried food all day
Huh? Isn't cheaper food often the unhealthiest food? In Chicago, using the McDonalds app [0] I can get a large latte and 2 bacon and egg biscuits for just $5. That's a ready-to-eat meal with a ton of calories. You could match that value in healthy foods by buying in bulk, but then you'd have to include costs of freezer space and time for prep.
[0] $4 for a bacon & egg biscuit, $1 more for buy-1-get-1-free, and the McCafe drink of any size comes free for an order of $3+
