Right. Food manufacturers have been doing this kind of thing for many
years. They really have no choice. Just as our costs continue to go up
just to live day-to-day, the costs to produce the food we eat also goes
up. Food companies have two choices in dealing with the rising cost of
producing the food we eat: they can either raise prices or reduce
package size.
