The price of oil is greatly effecting the cost of food. Oil is involved in the whole process, from the fertilizers, tractors and shipping of raw goods (largely corn and soy) to the processing, delivery and packaging.
The food chain in America is made of three main ingredients: corn, soy and petroleum (and that includes the meat too).
