I don't understand why we keep referencing core ppi and cpi so much. A figure that does not take into account food and energy is not representative of the real situation

It's more to do with what you can control as opposed to external factors. Core doesn't mean everything else doesn't matter, it's just that there's more you can't do to control pricing of stuff other than food and energy by monetary policy.
