To be fair, most likely of these ‘foods’ look like complete junk. Over-processed shit. Huge mark-ups on what amounts to packaging and cheap fat/sugar/industrial flavours.

Baby formula was listed. The shrinkflation has affected more than just junk food.

Yeah I understand but the highlight items seem to be mostly crap.

And? What's your point?

If people stopped eating shit over-processed foods they would probably save money and definitely be healthier

Or they'd spend more money and be less healthy. A food being "over-processed" doesn't mean jack shit on its own nor does it mean it's more expensive.

Lurpak shrank all their butter by 20%. In looks it's barely noticeable. In reality it's a 25% price hike.
