Fickle Food Prices Photos
A grocery cart of eggs, fruits and vegetables is shown at JJ&F Market in Palo Alto, Calif., Wednesday, Aug. 20, 2008. The economics of the food business are partly to blame for the higher prices. While crude oil is the main ingredient of gasoline, processed foods like cereal, crackers or cookies use only a small amount of corn, wheat and other grains, limiting manufacturers' pricing power.
