I'm thinking it's factory farming and the fact that the government is slowly getting out of the business of propping up agricultural commodity prices (except for corn).

I think I saw eggs for 79 cents a dozen at the local grocery store the other day. Milk has finally broken 3 bucks a gallon here.

I went through the different years on that site and inflation looks like it must have been really bad in the 70's. I was too young to notice.
