Do food manufacturers think we are so stupid that we will not notice a reduction in package size with no reduction in the cost of the product? One of the excuses for size reductions given here in Australia is that they are doing us a favour by making sure we eat less junk food.

Absolutely.
We need to get back back to the local market 'model', where you take a basket, your own containers and pay for the weight of product at the till.

Yes, of course they think we are that stupid. In fact, all evidence supports their observation. It's illegal to point it out.
