Since oil has gone down, why are products, especially food, still up?

Wasn't the reason why products such as food went up was because of the gas needed for the transportation to get there? Gas has gone down, but why hasn't food?





Why isn't anyone doing anything about this?Since oil has gone down, why are products, especially food, still up?
I have been asking everyone I know this very same question!! Sorry to say that no one I've spoken to has a good answer. People even say, ';Hmm, haven't thought about it.'; It's very frustrating! You're right -gas has been going down for several months (it's less than half of what it cost in July 2008) and yet it seems that the food manufacturers are greedily grabbing all they can until government regulators step in... but don't bet on that! Those guys (Washington) have been on vacation and just got back to work today... unfortunately, how much you and I pay for food is not their priority, like bailing out AIG, Citigroup and GM.Since oil has gone down, why are products, especially food, still up?
The world almost has an unlimited amout of food and food is a need.


Also in some places gas prices are still high.

Politics my friend, Politics.... they run the world....
Greed. Plain ol' greed. They've got it, we need it and can't live without it. So we pay, through the nose.
