All the figures I have seen have pointed to large increases in food prices. Where are they getting their figures that food prices have dropped?

Where are you getting figures that food prices have increased as a percentage of total income? I've only seen that they've decreased, and GP post gave a link supporting his position.

It's macro vs. micro. Over the past 50 years food prices have fallen, but since the great recession they've risen considerably (though still nowhere near what they were 50 years ago.)
