How an increase in oil prices causes the price of meat to go up

1. If the price of oil increases, then the cost of fuel will increase
2. If the cost of fuel increases, then it becomes more expensive to transport food, including meat, across the country in trucks
3. If grocery stores have to pay more for their food products, they will transfer the cost to the consumer

That is how an increase in oil prices can cause the price of meat to go up!
