oh bummer! You are correct food and energy are exempt from the inflation index. It is not like they are needed for life. Besides they move too quickly and the government has obligations based on their inflation index. For example government pension payouts and social security payments.

Don't worry! Be happy!

You are partially wrong.

Food and energy prices are included in the CPI, but not in the "core inflation" calculations.
