Here's a nice (non-paywalled) breakdown of the original article and reactions to it. I just managed to get the first few sentences of the WSJ thing (despite disabling Javascript), but between the article and the breakdown, it seems the author picked a baity title to an otherwise uncontroversial (if lacking) analysis of food price inflation.

Journalists don't write their own heds. It would have been an editor who wrote it. Your point stands otherwise.
