That article is about world food prices, every single link I give in my comments contain US-only food prices: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29114501

I have never said that inflation is not real, only that this price inflation has merely returned prices to 2011-2014 levels (excepting beef, which is actually at a new high).

Prices are always moving so you can say anything you want by cherrypicking individual categories. That says nothing about inflation.

For this comment to be helpful, you could offer links about goods that you feel better better represent inflation.

I'm not saying food prices (even broad baskets like the this) represents inflation. The broad indexes are better for that. But it's not true to say that food prices are at the same level as a decade ago.
