  1. Yeah. Inflation is the rate at which prices increase. Lower inflation means prices increase slower. Deflation means prices go down.

  3. Of course it's not the same people. People who want less government regulation also want less restriction on what can be put in food, and don't want any laws prohibiting skimpflation or shrinkflation.
