The food inflation crisis in the developing world has been front-page news. But spiraling food prices are much of a developed world problem, too.

The highest inflation in 50 years has forced them to change their shopping and eating habits—including cutting back on how much they tuck away at meals.

Call it “dietflation”.

      Yeah, right? OP needs to change the formatting on the second last column and the last column looks like a monthly payment expressed as a % of annual income?

      Quickly did the math on two sets, the second to last column has the correct numbers but like you say is written as percentage instead of dollar amount. Weird mistake to make.

      Last column makes sense when you have dollar amounts in the column before. Percentage of income payed for mortgage.

      Edit: Scrolled down more and say another post by the same poster. This image was meant for that post.

      Side note edit: Periods were used instead of commas for the numbers, could be partial explanation of being able to accidentally make it represent as percentage.
