May 6, 20223 yr Are you serious? Have you seen this F'ing country? I'm pretty sure anything that causes the average American to put down the fork should be considered a win-win for everyone.
May 6, 20223 yr For a lot of folks, food insecurity is already present. https://hungerandhealth.feedingamerica.org/understand-food-insecurity Quote In 2020, an estimated 1 in 8 Americans were food insecure, equating to over 38 million Americans, including almost 12 million children.

I just posed the question without comment, and yes, I do agree that there is an obesity problem right now. But again, it begs the question of whether or not IN THE FUTURE we are facing an issue with food insecurity.

Yeah it could be an issue for countries that are already struggling with scarcity. Domestically? If a pandemic that preyed disproportionately on the obese wasn't a wake-up call, I'm not sure a two dollar bump in the cost of big macs is gonna do the trick.

The factories are producing just as much as they they always do….some supply chain issues have hurt, especially crap made in China, but that’s everything Right now. bottom line, it’s not as bad as the MSM says…turn off cnnzzzz

You would be correct sir. We had a massive formula recall due to contaminated product. We still have people bringing it back.... It's been fine as of late
May 7, 20223 yr The problem is going to be in the third world and to a lesser extent the developing world. If you remember the Arab Spring, the same thing happened: inflation in commodities hit food and sparked civil unrest. In the first world, the problem is going to be the squeeze in standard of living — housing, energy and food inflation reduces discretionary spending. Maybe you get some food items being extremely expensive. I could see protein like beef getting really pricey. Maybe some imports of off season fruits and vegetables get really high. But food security isn’t going to be a problem. It’s just that a lot of people are going to be materially poorer.

Even before covid you could be paying 2 dollars for a head of lettuce and then the next day you are paying 5 bucks. The amount of sheet that goes into getting fresh fruits and veggies to your local grocery store is mind blowing. It's always frustrating when people get pissed off because we don't have blueberries in dead winter or even if we have them they are 5 bucks for a half pint. People just want what they want and they want it when they want it and they don't give a F how it gets into their mouths. 5 years ago you couldn't get clementines ( halos) past January now people are pissed when we can't get good ones in June.

This was pointed out at the start, but some were skeptical… The fact is though that fertilizer precursors were already experiencing a squeeze before the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Shipping was already experiencing shortages as well. We’re in a situation where virtually all commodities have pressure from every angle. I don’t see it getting better in the near term, and in the long term there is going to be a tsunami of monetary pressure as well.
