Pansy and Peony

Time Magazine this week (pdf. article) has examples of food prices that have gone up since 2003:

Wonder Bread up 74%
Boneless center-cut pork chop up 124%
Farmland Skim Plus milk up 38%
Arnold Stone-Ground wheat bread up 36%
Rib-eye steak up 64%
Carr's water crackers up 39%
Bird's Eye frozen sweet corn up 28%
Bananas up 41%
Bird's Eye frozen baby peas up 21%
Diet Coke up 10%

Notice the crap on the list-the Diet Coke- is the price that has inflated the least. I am too tired to speculate about the meaning because I am too busy trying to feed a family of eight nutritious and palatable real food on a budget.

I am running out of all those bright ideas I used to have.
