As Cheese Goes, So Goes the Nation?

On the corner of 22nd and 6th Ave. is Maffei Pizza. Last week Dominick, their most loquacious worker there, told me that the price of cheese had gone down and that Maffei would pass this along by reducing the price by 50 cents per slice. What's caused this price decline and does it portend deflation?
