From the article:
Here’s what the survey found.
The results of food affordability were alarming.
• 87% said grocery prices are too high
• 65.93% take fewer trips to the store due to inflation
• 82% dining out less for the same reason (so it’s not a swap of spending, money itself is the problem)
• 50-55% of people shop less, buy less stuff, and spend more time at home
• 57% have to stop buying organic or premium ingredients
• 74.60% would eat healthier if they could afford it
• 57.5% are buying less meat and poultry
These findings seem wholly believable to me, but the headline seems a bit hyperbolic.
