Is inflation changing your eating habits? How?

Will Harris’ proposed price controls help or hurt. Price Controls didn’t help in the 1970s under Nixon and haven’t worked in other countries so why would the US be different?

Here is a Wall Street Journal (WSJ) opinion:

Absolutely. I rarely eat fast food anymore, which is not a bad thing. But I also rarely buy and cook more expensive foods, which is not a good thing. I've had to be much more conscientious and frugal in with buying habits, which sucks.

Yes. We dine out less. Restaurant prices have gotten crazy.

Thanks for the MHO, Jersey2.

No but inflammation definitely has. I've found that my acne & other issues is more related to my gut health & the glycemic index/load of what I eat. Fixed those two & I see my skin & other health markers going up.

[Jersey2]

Very good

Oh & I've temporarily abandoned many omega 6 fatty acids since they seem to be the worst causal factor for my acne. So I've stopped buying peanut butter. I instead eat other types of fats. Especially ones higher in mono-unsaturated, poly-unsaturated, omega 3 & especially saturated since I've been eating in a deficit & need my test levels to be as high as possible.

I have sufficient disposable income that I have not been forced to change my eating habits.

[Jersey2]

Same. But a lot of people need to or will need to in the future. Many of them are Harris voters who will be buried by new inflation due to her upcoming trillions in spending without funding.

[OlderAndWiser]

If they vote for Harris, they will be bringing misery upon themselves.

[Jersey2]

Yes. And everyone else as well. They will hurt the most though and Harris will tell them to blame others… and they will.

we go out a lot less.
It used to be about once a week, now it is once a month, or special occasions.

[beefcakebradybatson]

No, because I'm in ASSISTED LIVING, where our meals are prepared, though some of them blow.

[Jersey2]

The cost of the assisted living will have to go up to cover the cost of the food price increases along with labor and everything else. I wonder if the quality will go down as they try to manage costs.

[beefcakebradybatson]

If so, I'm spiltting.

[LiamJHayden]

Not really, but I do see the huge cost increases.

[exitseven]

yes, I eat less and do not have as much steak.

[DrPepper12]

Yes. Less beef, eating out
