Lots of food producers have been doing the same thing. Their costs go
up, but they don't want to turn off consumers by putting higher prices
on their products, so they reduce package size. This tactic has been
practiced for several years; its nothing new. I suspect we consumers
will see more of it due to the high cost of fuel to produce and
distribute the food we eat.
