Ah look not sure if you've been following the detail but with a lack of supply of wheat, fertiliser, oil and gas this contributes massively to risk of food shortages.
You personally may not have been buying product from Russia or Ukraine but others will have been. They now have to look for replacement options creating market pressure.
Wheat and crops sourced from other countries still have to be harvested, so the oil prices going up (even if that was a single factor) can risk reduction in harvest and crop yields.
Oil supply is just one of the issues right now. Once you add fertiliser, crops, not to mention unpredicted or unreported factors, this is going to get painful for some.
