      A selected yet unlisted number of items that were more expensive 70 years ago. I'm sure bread and chicken used to cost way more before our food system became super industrialised. But obviously the quality of many of those items, the suffering of the animals, and the pollution have changed massively since then.

        Chicken prices are throught the roof, Avian Flu inflation.

        When a Tyson contractor's warehouse tests positive for that flu all the birds are destroyed. Tyson (and others in the industry) then gets to jack up the prices due to "supply issues".
