Obviously Kama-kama-chameleon doesn't understand the concept of "food chain"...
Field to Table: Harvest ....Note it takes gas/diesel to run the tractors that harvest the wheat.
A large machine, called a combine, is used to cut the wheat — similar to mowing grass. It collects the dried plants — much like a bagger on a lawn mower — and then separates the kernels from the chaff. The chaff is the dried plant, which is blown out of the back of the combine onto the soil. It protects the soil from harsh weather and collects moisture for next year’s crop.
The kernels, meanwhile, are collected in a large bin inside the combine.
When that bin gets full, a grain cart drives beside the combine. The combine then unloads the wheat kernels into the grain cart using an auger. This allows the combine to continually collect wheat kernels the entire time so it is harvested at the peak moment of quality.
The grain cart takes the wheat kernels and unloads them into a large truck, or semi, that is waiting at the edge of the field
The wheat is ground by a flour mill machine that crushes it into pieces. It is then put through sifters that separate the endosperm, wheat germ and wheat bran. These can be sold separately or used to produce different flours. For example — wheat bran, wheat germ and white flour blended together creates whole wheat flour.
Here it can be packaged for grocery stores or it can be sent in bulk to commercial bakeries.
Baking... Note it takes gas/diesel to run the trucks that haul the bread to the stores.
Today’s commercial bakeries deliver the loaves to grocery stores and restaurants on a daily basis.

Now NOTE how many steps require gas/diesel fuel? Farming, to mills, to bakeries and to stores... and all affected by gas/diesel price increases as follows after this dummy makes this statement:

Folks all the above steps WERE AFFECTED by 44% increase in at least GAS prices and doesn't include diesel fuel which most of the above motor vehicles would be using!
But "Kama-kama-chameleon" blames the local grocer for "Price-gouging"!!!
Field to Table: Planting--- Note it takes gas/diesel to run the tractors that plant the seeds.
These selected varieties become available to farmers who plant them in soil and nurture them for months while they grow into wheat plants. These farmers make choices about how to best nurture the growing plants with fertilizer and other nutrients.Field to Table: Harvest ....Note it takes gas/diesel to run the tractors that harvest the wheat.

Transportation---Note it takes gas/diesel to run the trucks that haul the wheat.
Semis take the wheat to a nearby grain elevator. Grain elevators store wheat until it is ready to be taken to its next destination — either through more semis or by train. About half of the wheat will be loaded onto large ships and exported to customers around the world, while the other half will be milled into flour right here in the United States.Milling
Once wheat arrives at a flour mill, it is cleaned to remove impurities such as sticks, stones and other course and fine materials.The wheat is ground by a flour mill machine that crushes it into pieces.
