I just saw a fantastic video by a magician who is showing how corporations help to hide inflation. As you pay about the same for the products you purchase the cost to make them has gone up. Noone seems to recognize this. I highly suggest you read this article as well: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/shrinking-products-price-stays-same-more-than-2500-shrinkflation-brexit-ons-toblerone-maltesers-a7857126.html
What corporations did is making smaller products, and you buy them for the same price. The magician says they deceive you with products visually looking the same. If you look closer, they are smaller than they were before. Only minor changes, you want to see at first glimpse.
Take a look at the video here:
That's the one side of how inflation looks a lot better than it is and another one is if you look at the prices for organic foods. It will take more work to make something organically as you are not using pesticides, but over time organic wins as the soil are left at a better place than toxic industrial farming with pesticides.
Organic sometimes depending on the product could almost be double.
So this said the real food inflation in many countries is a lot higher if you accommodate the loss of size of the products that the government uses to calculate and the quality of the product when you buy real food vs. the fake food you are sold that are processed. People aren't recognizing this and get stolen from on a daily basis by inflation and this hidden food inflation as well.
It's time to let a free market rule and take away the destructive powers of governments, fiat currency and banking. Everyone loses in the game above, and the corporations are doing this to cover their profits as they are shoved into the same system that is fuelled to pay their investors ever-increasing yield on their shares.
It is always the fiat system which corrupts the world. It has done it again, and it's time to remove it and replace it with better systems like decentralized crypto, gold and silver or any other method that can't spend beyond your means.
How you can beat the system now is by buying food directly from your farmers that sell great organic products or become more self-sufficient :)
Peace, Love and Voluntaryism!

It's called "shrinkflation".

Hey John, I love watching you and Josh on WAM. It is our supper entertainment many nights. Since we are so busy we don't watch TV much but we can usually squeeze in a 10 minute video.
I have noticed shrinking packages for a few years now. Cans of tuna, frozen vegetables, rolls of toilet paper getting narrower, you name it. The latest we noticed was a 2 litre carton of orange juice is now 1.75L.

I think people are slowly catching on due to the economic climate and people like you getting the word out. I've noticed in my social circle a big difference in the last couple of years.
Keep up the good work!

This has been going on for years. First we noticed them in fast food shops -like mcDonalds burgers growing ever smaller and more disgusting. I've seen packets of chips be inflated with air to make it look fuller and being deceived by bottle or can 'redesigns' to mask the contents being changes. Best to opt out, grow and make your own food!
