But the average person doesn't eat only eggs and meat, which is what the 6% reflects.

I don't eat any eggs or meat, and I don't own a car so I didn't pay for gas during the price spike last year. I was only impacted by inflation when my 5.50 latte went up to 6.42. Don't love it, but not enough to make me want to vote against democracy existing.
