US Food Price Changes
The Kobeissi Letter's line chart drew 275.1K views on X: 1.2x its typical post and #48 of 131 The Kobeissi Letter charts we track by views. Read Oct 22, 2026.
The US affordability crisis is worsening:
Why it spread
It spread because it hit a hot topic that week, with 275,094 views, 3,993 likes, 975 reposts, 181 quotes and 544 saves, and it drew many quotes.
What worked
- The post leads with a clear affordability crisis framing and backs it with four concrete price increases, including food up 34.5 percent, rent up 33.3 percent, groceries up 30.0 percent and motor vehicle maintenance and repair up 55.2 percent since December 2019.
- The line chart shows a steady rise in US food prices since 2019, which makes the trend easy to grasp at a glance and matches the text.
- It is a branded post with a visible source line and a medium level of design polish and self labelling, which lends it enough credibility to be quoted widely.
What to borrow
We could pair one plain line chart of our own data with a short list of concrete changes since a fixed start date, keep a visible source line, and frame it around a timely topic so people quote it.
Careful
Do not copy the exact percentages or treat the high views and quote rate as proof the chart design caused the spread, since the hot topic that week and the many quotes are the stated main reasons.
