The rising cost of food means their money gets them about a third fewer bags of groceries — $100 used to buy about 12 bags of groceries, but now it's more like seven or eight. So they cut back on expensive items like meat, and they don't buy extras like ice cream anymore. Instead, they eat a lot of starches like potatoes and noodles. They fear with a diet like that that they will soon wither away to nothingness.

Was that really in the article, or did you add that in? I don't think they'll be withering away to nothingness anytime soon...
