1 in 10 Americans is going hungry...^1 It's not always about how many blueberries we are all eating as a group - justice demands we consider who is getting to eat at all. It would be great if we could close some of that food security gap with the savings "we" are experiencing on cheaper hammers and batteries.

I really enjoy charts and analysis like this, and sometimes a controversial headline is what is needed to start a discussion - so thanks for sharing. I think this analysis begs for follow-up charts showing how these items and spending vary by race, class, location, etc. When we say "we" are mostly living better, who exactly is in that group? Seems like that's an important consideration in asking whether "we" are achieving our goals as a society.
