They're almost all that size now. Camouflaged inflation. Most people don't notice.
I've seen it. Burger King burgers are smaller. But as I want to cut calories, a good thing. These are pittance though. Having close grocery competition I find that for food bargains and inflation control sales can be found. And with the internet shopping actual deflation in so many cases if you know how and where to look and buy. Even 2nd hand, used if appropriate.

When all the what used to be 1/2 gallon ice cream products are now only 1.5 quarts (a 25% reduction in product volume), you can't adjust for that. You're involuntarily subjected to inflation.

I asked a simple question "who will pay for this" because if this is voluntary then I would imagine the government would be taking around 80% of your paycheck in taxes. Will there be a separate economy for the socialists? Will a Chevy cost $500 instead of $30,000?
Why do we have to pay for it? We just got tax cuts that will continue to add to the debt. We aren't paying for things now. Why should this be different?
And it’s stupid to feed feral cats. Why would they hunt for themselves when some twit is setting food out for them each day?
A six year old should be expected to go out and hunt their own food each day?
In reality this is what would happen if things were left to some of you and you would not like it. When people routinely are forced to steal and break into homes to feed themselves, you'll be whining about that.
And like I said before, that's NOT the only grocery item that has shrunk while the price has increased. Most people don't notice. That's what both the products' companies and the federal government are counting on so you don't notice the inflation.

A six year old's parents should be responsible enough to EARN enough to feed their kid each day.
