What I'm saying is, is that a pound of meat is a pound of meat, and a dozen eggs is a dozen eggs with regard to the calculation of the CPI.

You are saying that a producer shrinking the size of its package affects the above, and that is incorrect. Just as the assertion that consumers substituting chicken for beef when beef gets too expensive affects the calculation of the CPI is incorrect.

We’re talking meat and eggs when organic panic was talking packaged items like ice cream.
