I didn't believe this story when I read it. You can see what the reporter did with the facts to spin it. Clarification: Cheaper Shoppers Story CHICAGO (AP) -- In a story May 2, The Associated Press reported that financially pressed consumers were willing to spend less on food in order to pay for gasoline, according to a survey by the Food Marketing Institute. The institute's report said that high oil prices, both at the pump and for home heating, were depressing consumers' ability to spend more, but did not specify where that added spending would have occurred. The institute said it had no evidence that consumers were choosing to spend less for food in order to pay for gasoline. Copyright 2004 Associated Press. All rights reserved.
