The coming food shortage.

[smokingman]

Aren’t food prices always at an all time high?

In my lifetime I have not once seen food prices go down. Ounces in a package has many times though.

I don’t disagree with what your saying, I’m not naive in thinking everyone would.
We have lost 3 small processors in the last 5-10 yrs one in Brook IN just a year or so ago. Go back, 20-30 yrs and there was a lot more processors, big processors or at least more than 4. This processor situation we are in is a train wreck waiting to happen. Covid gave us a glimpse, we need a lot more diversity in our food industry.

Not only Brook but just a few miles away, Remington. We are now hauling to Monon, and they are backed up for a year or longer. Getting harder to serve our neighbors.

The Goya CEO was on conservative news recently and said the food shortage will hit 3rd world countries hardest, the U.S. will feel the impact but will weather it due to our resources. Remember that the mission of MSM is to instill constant fear in the public who don't know how to think for themselves or prepare for emergencies. The mission of the Left and RINOs is to fundamentally change (i.e., destroy) America, not keep America great. We will endure because God is with us.

Last night at 3 am we had another fire. This one at one of the largest egg production factories in the midwest. Total loss. Finding actual data and information is still scarce,but MSN did mention it.

I read about "shrinkflation" several years ago, and the origin is fascinating, if it's true.
I read it started near the "Great Depression", when inflation was running rampant, like today.
The chocolate industry was getting hit hard because a great deal of their products were sold in vending machines.
The vending machines of the day were all mechanical, and accepted limited coins. Most accepted nickels, dimes, and quarters.
No bills, no credit/debit cards.

It was not an easy task, if possible at all, to change the price charged by the machine.
The only alternative for the chocolate industry was to shrink the contents in the package.

So, Democratic policies started shrinkflation long ago.
It's nothing new.

What a strange coincidence.

Actually, during the Great Depression we had deflation, not inflation. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) dropped about 25% from 1930 to 1933. As unemployment went up, the CPI went down - less money chasing goods.

Sad that if things turn out wrong, this was the perfect time for it to resurface.

You’d be surprised how quickly everyone will adjust to dirty knee’s food lines and forced labor. Most will prefer it over the thought of a civil war that’s not guaranteed to produce the results they desire.

This is a good example of what people can do. Turns out you can fight city hall! Just needs to be scaled up to the national level.

Two years and I didn’t see a food shortage. Glad things worked out!

I still have my Covid toilet paper stash, so I've got that going for me.

Maybe you should also invest in some Metamucil to get you regular!

Nah, it's two-ply. Lots of fiber!
