911 is responsible for the increase in coconut prices.
911 brought about changes. First comes war. Well planned out
beforehand, destined to become perpetual war.
Second; an increase in crude oil / fuel prices.
Next comes an increase in food prices which are climbing as a result
of increases in fuel prices.
Certain commodities such as gold also increase because of investor/
speculator pressure. They want something safe.
Now I'm not going to blame the US government for these increases.
This havoc is caused by them what works in the shadows.
So blame them for your coconut problem.
And if you think all of these changes weren't well planned in advance,
then I have a cornfield to sell you on the planet Tralfamadore.

Default The Skyrocketing Price of Young Coconuts

It must be a year or so since I bought a young coconut.
At that time, they were around $0.99 to $1.29 each.
Just recently, I noticed they'd jumped to $2.49!
What's up with that? I'm guessing it's caused by
the companies now selling bottled coconut water.
That's got to come from somewhere, and it's not like
you can grow a bunch of coconut trees to fruit-bearing
age in a hurry. I predict this is just a fad, and
when new plantings reach maturity or the fad runs its
course, the price will crash.

Stupid idea, bottled coconut water. It can't be better
than straight from the coconut.

When I saw that subject, it made me think of another possible title for
ALexander McCall Smith's book series about Botswana, the "No. 1 Ladies
Detective Agency." His titles all sound like that.
