This is a silly thing to complain about unless you didn't read the article. The price increase is specifically quoting a grocer who price per crate went up. The article itself gives you several direct proportional metrics:
According to the latest Consumer Price Index, tomato prices have surged by approximately 40% over the past year
MarginEdge, a firm tracking restaurant prices, reported that grape tomatoes saw a 65% increase in just one month, with prices rising across all tomato varieties.
And finally the context of the title that you're complaining about:
Wayne Humphrey, chief operating officer of Snarf’s, which operates dozens of stores in Colorado, Missouri and Texas, said cases of tomatoes went from costing him $27 to $93 in the space of a year, piled on top of rising expenses for other ingredients including bread and beef, as well as increased labor costs.
It's such a non-issue in this article and the title encapsulates the problem that even the grocers are facing. But I guess you have to run to comments and complain about AmErIcAn MeAsUrEmEnTs when it's vaguely relevant because this is lemmy.

It's kind of hard for me to tell on this one. Maybe the boomer lead is seeping into my brain.
Tried this method. Any recommendations for repairing a broken window and getting a cleaver out of my neighbor's dead body? It's, like, really stuck in there.
I'm sure he is still capable of shitting his pants and not showering.
60+ years of conservative polcies have removed social safety nets, supressed wages, irresponsibly deregulated key industries, and funneled money to the ultra rich. These policies are largely responsible for the decline of the middle class, lack of accessible medical care, and decline if upward economic mobility. In this essay we will only be reviewing the 5,897 polcies enacted since George H. W. Bush that have directly affected these key socioeconomic systems for the middle and working class...
Yeah that doesn't quite have the same ring to it as "brown people did it" does it?
