Think a Minute on Food Costs Since the War
A postwar study shows food accounted for 23 percent of consumer income before World War II, but buying the same items today would take 144 percent of income. Consumers now buy larger meat portions and pay for convenience in prepared foods, spending about 40 percent more than prewar standards. Yet food consumes only 20 percent of income, 3 percent less than prewar, reflecting a higher living standard. Dollar prices alone mislead. the share of income spent matters most.
