I want a Canadian journalist to follow one Ontario grown grocery item through the whole supply chain to help me understand why food has become unsustainably expensive. Show me where markups have doubled or tripled. Who is benefiting?

@kevinbowrin@ottawa.place It would be terrific if journalists followed this type of thinking on a regular basis. I hope someone will take up you challenge. However, they would probably stir up a "hornet's nest" of outrage from all the "middle men" in the supply chain, wouldn't they?
