Draft for Intervention

 For my intervention its a continuation of my other interventions and this time sits gonna tackle on shrinkflation. So my idea of the intervention is to go around and ask people 5 questions, those questions are  

1.) on a scale from 1-10, how much has food prices affected your life.

2.) What is some specific foods you have seen a jump in price, if any.

3.) have you noticed the change in amount of stuff you get in your food

4.) Three could be “Do you believe that food prices are fair, if not why?

5.) do you believe shrinkflation is a real thing?

I chose these questions because what I'm trying to get from them is their main idea and opinion about shrinkflation. Some people don't really know the term "Shrinkflation" (I already asked a few people these questions) so I will keep them informed on what shrinkflation really is and how it hurts us a lot more than we originally think. Some information I got from doing a few research is " Today, household paper products, like toilet paper and paper towels, are 34.9 percent more expensive per unit than they were in January 2019. Of that total cost increase, 10.3 percent is due to producers shrinking the size of rolls and packages. Similarly, snacks like Oreos and Doritos have become 26.4 percent more expensive since January 2019, and 9.8 percent of that price increase has been accomplished by giving families fewer chips and cookies for their dollar. " (Senator Bob Casely) 

That is pretty much my Project concept

The participants will be: me, and my friend

Inspiration: I got inspired by an art work in the art activism book where a man waits behind and wall for a person to approach him and then asks him a few questions

Method: I will approach or wait for them to approach me and then ask them a few questions
