The feeling we have about changing food prices comes from price sensitivity, not some kind of food cartel secretly jacking up the price of grapes. You can choose to get the cheap grapes or buy bananas instead. There’s no menu to pick the cheap hip replacement from.

Food (despite recent inflation) is still very cheap in the grand scheme of things, despite it being something ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY for survival.
