I think we all here at patnet understand that the CPI is a sham, but this helps put it in numbers, at least a little.

Big Mac inflation has outpaced CPI inflation by a little under 1.5%. What really gets me though is that the Big Mac probably is made of cheaper ingredients than it was years ago.

probably

Probably? I shudder to think what they used to replace "Pinkslime" with, after they got busted for that.

Pink slime is to "food" as "corn sugar" is to sugar.

no wonder we're all sick

There's always kangaroo meat. And roadkill. And slightly expired Chinese prisoner organs.

All kinds of wonderful things can fall into a meat grinder.

APOCALYPSEFUCK is Shostakovich says

Pink slime was replaced by having the illegals who work at the factory take a smoke break by sitting at the edge of the meat vats and taking a shit in them. Since the factories charge for the loo, they get this 'fortifying emulsifier' for free and the illegals get to crap for free on work time. Win-win.

Man that's so wrong but I can stop reading. lol

Didn't even know what pinkslim was, but after a quick google search you forever ruined McDonald's for me.
