Everything is more expensive, wheat is probably among the cheapest staple items. Meat prices are already higher, fruit and vegetable prices will get there

What do you think the low carbs eat?

Grass

You smoke that.

Not wheat, typically.

The vegans/vegetarians eat vegetables. The low carbohydrate omnivores on Paleo and/or Healthy Keto eat a mix of vegetables and meats. Those on carnivore diets eat mostly non gmo grass fed meats from what I have seen.

Beef is up too.

Great time to be on a plant based gluten free diet!

Fertilizer costs are skyrocketing, and Russia is saying not to export to western nations now too.

Everything's on the up.

I'm an omnivore, and use tofu for meals on occasion. On my trip to the Asian market yesterday (cheapest price around), tofu was 50% higher than what I paid last trip two or three months ago (was $1.39 for House Foods 10oz - a common brand around here, now $1.99). Nothing's safe.

Not so much if you buy it direct and avoid the store/middlemen markups.

Beef is often counter-cyclical with grain prices, so I wouldn't be surprised to see it drop. When the price of feed goes up, cattlemen sell cattle depressing its price. When the price of feed goes down, cattlemen expand their herds, temporarily decreasing the number of cattle for sale.
