Kinda OT but has anyone else noticed that snack foods don't taste as salty anymore, or that portion sizes at most chain restaurants have been getting smaller?

I wonder if these companies are using this regime's current push against obesity as an excuse to keep prices high and reduce product size.

No. You can blame Bernanke, Obama and their printing press.

These companies are getting seriously squeezed by inflation and the transportation costs of getting their food.

I used to love tuna fish in a can and now I can’t stand it, it has no salt and who knows what else. In January I had some home canned tuna and it tasted just like I remembered, the woman had put a little salt and a very small piece of the belly fat.
