  1. Here is what AI says about this allegation:
    “the rate of increase is slower than the 20-year historical average” Decide for yourself…

    Grocery prices in 2025 have experienced continued increases, with overall food-at-home prices projected to rise by 2.2% by the end of the year, according to the USDA’s latest forecast as of August 2025. While the rate of increase is slower than the 20-year historical average, some categories like eggs and beef have seen larger price swings, while others like fresh vegetables have declined. Factors contributing to price changes include weather, disease outbreaks, tariffs, and broader economic conditions

    • The rate of increase isn’t really relevant to the fact that the increase itself is primarily due to trumpkov’s tariffs (a.k.a. the “trump tax”).

      “While Trump grants massive tax cuts to massive corporations and the ultra-rich, his reckless tariff policy is wreaking warrantless chaos on our economy, with grocery giants shifting market uncertainty onto consumers – all at a time when 9 in 10 Americans remain gravely concerned about food costs,” said Accountable.US President Caroline Ciccone. “It’s only the latest example of how Trump’s reckless trade policy comes at the cost of Americans’ pocketbooks.”

      “Grocers are ringing alarm bells because they’re seeing the same shocking food price trends that thousands of Americans are tracking at DontInflateOurPlates.com. Working families are being crushed by Republican tariffs every time they check out at the grocery store,” said Unrig Our Economy Campaign Director Leor Tal. “It’s bad enough that Trump and congressional Republicans’ policies are driving up the cost of seeing your doctor and paying your utility bill. Sadly, Republicans are also dead set on inflicting additional pain at the checkout line – all to pay for massive tax breaks for billionaires and big corporations.”
