We don't even BUY most of those things anymore. Soft drinks especially, they have just gotten too expensive.

What was wrong with commodities? What is wrong with limiting allowed foods to essentials for a balanced diet? Why are we being obligated to pay for luxuries and non-essentials?

I have no idea why soda got crazy expensive, moreso than almost anything else. I'll get ginger ale for mixed drinks, but that's about it. Used to be three 12-packs/$12, on sale it was $0.25 a can, maybe less. Now it's $9-10 per case, a 3-4x increase!
