But... but... I like cheese!
What does the price of mozzarella have to do with the cost of a Domino’s pizza?
what’s a moose to do now?
The easy solution is to use moosarella, which is a synthetic concoction of...of....umm...well, all I know, it’s great on a pizza!
“The price of wheat has doubled since December to £227 per tonne, which will hit Domino’s in January when its fixed price contract is renegotiated.”

And, dear readers, can anyone guess WHY the price of wheat has doubled recently?
It just might possibly have something to do with U.S. farmers plowing under their wheat and planting (subsidized) corn instead for you-know-what?
This is turning into one heck of a macroeconomics lesson. I do hope it is properly analyzed and written up in all its far-reaching consequences for future generations of dismal scientists.

Australias wheat harvest is down 25% because of draught?
yitbos
If the enivormental whackos would let refineries be built, we wouldn't be having these issues.
no one’s posting Starbuck’s biggest cost is employee health insurance not coffee beans?
The price of all grain has increased because the cost of fuel for the tractor and the train and truck has increased. Transportation, all of it.
That shouldn’t affect the cost of a dominos pizza much. However, if the price of cardboard went up...
I’ve noticed prices for everything rising lately. Local deli, local diner, local stationery store . . .
Shut that bloody bazouki off!!!!
It is Al Gores fault (bear with me):
Al Gore ——>Global warming
Global Warming———> Oil Dependence
Oil Dependence-——> Ethanol
Ethanol——> Corn
Corn -——> Cows
Cows ———> Milk
Milk ———> Cheese
So, if Al Gore could just give back his Nobel prise, we could all eat pizza.

Domino’s makes pizza?
Who knew?
I agree with you completely, except for one small correction:
This is a lesson in microeconomics (supply, demand and pricing in various markets) more than macroeconomics (the effects of government spending, taxation, etc. on GDP, inflation, etc.). Misguided government policy is distorting supply and demand in markets for commodities such as wheat, corn, dairy, and so forth.
While the pizza sounds good, I doubt I could eat something called 'the Scrummy.'
"Scrummy" sounds like a conflation of "scrotum" and "crummy." I'll pass.
