Bull****in'shit! If that were true, there'd be very few people in
France who could afford to pay rent AND eat and even fewer who could
also buy clothes, transportation, and entertainment.

Your mis-statements have entered the realm of untruth; you're a liar!

We spent two weeks in Paris about four years ago. Our meals averaged
about U$12 per person; the meal we consumed in our apartment cost
about U$3 each but the foods were prepared.

Two weeks, fourteen days, twenty-eight meals averaging $12 = U$336
each of two people. Not eating in restaurants reduces the cost by
about 70% meaning that one could eat at home for about about U$210 a
month. If your allegation that prices have doubled isn't another lie,
that's U$420 a month, an incredibly large sum for eating at home. A
single person could get fat on truffles and caviar and fillets Mignon
with plenty of money left over; a family of four could be well fed.
