Food was not cheaper back then, it is cheaper now. The food market is much more global and mechanized than it was in the 80s.

When I was younger, "imported food" was a novelty because the local in-season food was all you could normally get.

Now it's (hilariously) the opposite.

I stand a bit corrected on food but I think tuition and health care and especially housing are not debatable. Housing is particularly bad and overwhelms any improvements in food.
