Liberals be all like "there is no problem". But conservatives be like "AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!". But I was wondering if anyone is trying to quantify what these food shortages will look like in a ...digestible way. What are we really talking about here? Do I need to buy 500 pounds of rice or is this more of a cool ranch is sold out so you have to eat nacho cheese kind of situation?

Strangely, it’s not everywhere, worldwide but with exceptions. Where I’m at, prices are slightly more than last year. Maybe 1/3 of items are up 5%. No shortages whatsoever. Meats, baby formula, it’s normal. Eggs are the only real indication, I think cost to produce eggs world wide is fairly similar based on world grain prices. Commodity eggs went from 3.25 for a flat of 30 to $4.

Your comment reminded me of this: China is working toward farming GM crops which will increase thier yields and leave countries supplying China with excess capacity. That implies that there will be excess food where I am, and not a shortage. Currently no shortages here, but rampant inflation.

Chyna will have to use another country's crop fields since most of theirs are toxic.
