Dear President Obama,
I do not eat shirts; I wear them.
I have seen chained CPI literally described as adjusting buying priorities by price...that as the cost of bread rises, the elderly may choose to buy shirts instead.
Seriously, I do not eat shirts; I wear them. 
Sincerely,
A voter shocked at some people's inability to understand the difference between food and new clothes, not to mention the relative importance of one versus the other to simple survival.
