Well...the world only has a 90 day supply of food at any given point in time.

Grocery store outages already

Those of us who check ‘dates’ on products have noticed the best buy dates are shorter. Stores reaching deep into their backstock. That makes me worry, no one is saying how close we are to real extreme shortages.

China supply chain issues...
UK goverment just got caught lying about their ‘task force.’
No rain for California rice growers.
Corn farmers are not planting corn this year, they’re planting soy because of costs.
Supply trains companies cutting back on shipping fertilizers.

alarmism...yep. If you are not seeing the signs flashing red at you by now, well, do not go knocking on a prepper’s door tomorrow.

You are assuming I'm not a prepper which is a bad assumption to make. That said, nothing causes shortages like panic buying by hoarders. And some of these sites seem to be encouraging THAT type of behavior.
