I understand what you are getting at Bingo but I think the reasons for produce getting more expensive are far more realistic. You wont read any reports about how a grape picker got kidnapped so therefore grapes are going up in price.
I don't think produce prices are quite as easily swayed as gas prices are, they are certainly far less prone to pice increases due to speculation.
