Food prices have escalated a significant amount in the last couple years. You would notice it if you have to feed a whole family. In many cases you subsidize to lower quality items or don't purchase items you used to in the past.

Unit prices have gone up for processed foods, core protein and vegetables considerably and, in many cases, the quality has decreased.

Food prices didn't escalate, the dollar became worth less because of intentional inflation (needed to offset the massive federal spending spree during covid). Food prices are the same as they were pre-inflation.

No they aren't inflation from the Fed was much lower than food price increase.
