Dollar has lost 20% of value since 2005, and I'm pretty sure bigmacs haven't changed much in that time. It might cost a few extra pennies to get to mickeyd's, and that carton of milk might have gone up a few cents. If we imported food things would be different.

I agree food is too cheap in this country, but that's how it is.

I think there should be a fat tax, like the cigarette tax. If your food has over some % of fat in it, it gets taxed badly. Use the proceeds to help pay medical costs.
