I appreciate that.

I know.

Okay.

All right.

So you're you may remember at the top of the show, you asked me how to describe my chart.

And I said it's not a nothing burger.

We've been talking about price, we've been talking about affordability.

I would say price because it has so many forces inside of it.

Global supply, demand, wars, climate, everything gets wrapped up into price that you can tell the story of the whole global economy through something like

You see that in the tomatoes.

You see that actually in the bacon and the beef, because those all get fed.
