Meanwhile, food prices in the U.S. are rising at historic rates, while prices for commodities like wheat and corn are at their highest levels in a decade. What’s more, the U.S. Department of Agriculture predicts that food-at-home prices will see an increase of up to 4% by the end of 2022.
“It’s particularly severe because we are just coming out of a recovery from a two-and-a-half-year pandemic that had severe implications on the prices of goods and services as well as the price of commodities,” according to Johanna Mendelson-Forman, adjunct professor at the American University in the School of International Service.
Despite the prospect of continued rising prices, however, experts don’t expect food shortages to occur in the United States.
“It’s important to realize that the U.S. doesn’t import very much from Ukraine,” explained Joseph Glauber, a senior research fellow at the International Food Policy Research Institute.
“We may see some shelves that are empty for various kinds of food products like we have for a while now as we recover from the pandemic,” said Scott Irwin, chair of agricultural marketing at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. “But I can say with some real confidence that in the United States, the average consumer is not going to see a shortage of bread because of what’s going on in Ukraine.”

We’ll have food shortages if they give our food away like they are our oil.
Then again, we have our own despotic government to deal with, so his claim is probably true as it relates to the Ukraine, but are we still unlikely to see food shortages from other reasons? I’d say yes.
Listen, I was NOT personally offended. I am trying to help you because you have not been there to that “hungry” point yet. Get ready, I have, and you will also soon. One thing I have going for me is that I grew up with old timers who lived through the depression and WWII. AND I LISTENED...
Get ready... Here we go again... “Mix it yourself Oleo...”
Don’t forget rabbits and quail. Much quieter than chickens and ducks.
You know what that means...
Egg glassing is Sodium silicate. We used to use that to also seal auto-radiator and head gasket leaks. This is from my neighbor who said that during the depression with no refrigeration they would jar fresh eggs in a lime solution, and it was supposed to keep them edible for at least 6 months or more without refrigeration.
Maybe you have found more than me so far... But I just heard about it and just now diving into it as real and usable without killing myself... lol
Into “Cuy” right now...I will eat ANYTHING... lolo
Guessing the regime asked for one of their buddy outlets to put out something like this. Many reasons why.
Tom T Hall. “Don’t Forget The Coffee Billy Joe”?
Went to Publix today in Smyrna,Ga. Prices are outrageous but most things are on the shelf. Was not able to get a few things on my list.
Here you go...
“Why Preserve With Lime Water?
Not only will lime-water preserved eggs last for two or more years, but they are also preserved in the shell, so they are much more versatile when it comes time to use them. The taste and consistency of such eggs are nearly identical to fresh eggs.
Preserving eggs this way is super economical and a fantastic way to use all those eggs you can’t use as quickly as your chickens can lay them. They do not require heat or refrigeration for storage and will be an excellent option should access to power be lost. Neither will they attract rodents or bugs.”

you'd be a fool to believe them.
It's HIGHLY LIKELY and damn' near a certainty it's going to happen.
Oh sh*t!
If msnbc says it ain’t going to happen, that’s an almost infallible contraindicator.
On top of the 8-20% they've already gone up? And what do they mean by food-at-home? Does that mean fast food joint prices won't go up due to their buying power? Or maybe the farms that grow stuff for the big boys like fast food chains will still get fertilizer delivered while your small town feed stores can't get squat.
Where is that? Our shelves are full here in NW Arkansas
You’re in the boondocks , if you can’t find it you’ll grow it or make it. I got relatives in that area. Like NW MO. You’ll get it done. Be safe.
Lol. That’s one food item I’ll pass on. But, I appreciate it <3
