Food or gas?

I was fascinated by this story from the Austin Business Journal, which detailed the results of a study performed by Opinion Research Corp. of Princeton, N.J. for Minnesota-based Hormel Foods Corp.

The study found that 58 percent of people polled said they have had to cut back the amount of food they buy because of food prices going up. And, almost one in five said they've had to choose between food and gas. What about you? How are you shopping nowadays, and have you been forced to choose between food and gas?
