True Mysteries of the Universe

Enough philosophy, history, politics. I'd like to address some of the really big questions, and here's one that's been eating away at me for years:
Why does a red (ripe) bell pepper cost 3 times as much as a green one?
They are the same vegetable. They grow from the same seeds, in the same plots-- on the same goddamn vines!
Are we charged extra for ripe cucumbers?
I want some answers.

Uh, Mr.K I'm startin to worry about you. I fear you've had a bad experience at the grocery store. But in sympathy.... I've often wondered why "natural", whole wheat cereals cost more than ones that are degerminated, refined, beaten, made into weird shapes,sugared to death, fruit looped, & choculated.
