The biggest thing that someone can do to combat inflation and the price of food, is to cook your own meals. I have stopped going out as much, pick up some recipe books from the library and cook my own meals.

This isn't possible for a lot of people, with young kids, working multiple jobs (with shift work especially) and that live below the poverty line. But for the middle class it sure makes a huge difference. Even one meal at a nice restaurant can cost around $100... Fast food for a family of four can cost close to $40.

I think that we as a society have become a bit to accustomed to the uber eats/skip the dishes type of thinking where a meal is a few taps away with unlimited options.

Obviously this is an over simplification of a lot of issues but I still think for many people that it will need to be change in thinking to help combat these issues.

Edit: also when did everyone stop making their own bread. That was best pandemic times.
