If you think food has outpaced inflation, pick a random &quot;basket&quot; and look at current prices, 10 years ago, 20 years ago, 30 years ago. Sure it has bigger swings, but overall food has generally followed inflation. Go ahead and try it, you will see another stacker myth busted to pieces. No one seem to remember in 2008 when food prices dropped 30%, but it happened. As far as Energy, there is no doubt it is considerably lower this year. As I said, if you add in energy and food, there is negative inflation.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as your ground beef, Beef HAS risen more than other foods because of several reasons, but it is not typical, and should not be cherry picked to Prove an incorrect assumption.</p><p><br /></p><p>In addition, you are severely over paying for your hamburger.
