The foodie revolution that began in the '70s--arugula over iceberg, short ribs over brisket, etc.--has challenged Engel's law among élites who will pay, say, $80 for a single pound of Nantucket Wild Gourmet cold-smoked salmon. But finding impossibly tender lox is a recreational, not nutritional, pastime. And anyway, most Americans aren't spending more on food...
