Most Americans can’t imagine their favorite restaurant just being out of certain foods. But the threat is closer than we think.
It is difficult to imagine that the mighty United States could face threats to its seemingly abundant supply of grocery store and restaurant offerings. America has led the world in creating the modern industrial food system (known as “the Green Revolution”) and remains the world’s top food-exporting nation. Yet economic and logistical fractures have become visible, threatening to burst this illusion of plenty in a matter of moments.
America’s farms have been quietly disappearing for decades, and productive farmland acreage has dropped in tandem. The U.S. now imports more food than it exports, much of that from China. The pandemic revealed the vulnerability of strained supply lines as grocery shelves emptied of more than mere toilet paper. Americans clamor for cheap hamburger, but the U.S. cattle herd is the smallest it’s been in 75 years. These are all harbingers of future food supply challenges.
The farmer revolts in the E.U. are distant from America’s shores, but they reflect ongoing ideological pressures by globalists determined to dominate the world’s food production system. The odd bedfellows of animal rights activists and climate alarmists who attack farmers in Europe gather annually at Davos to declaim human eating habits. Both groups seek to “liberate” animals from the food supply: one to save the animals (and leave them unalived, because they will disappear); the other to save the world...from alleged climate change and the ubiquitous carbon culprit.
As I explain in my new book, The Coming Food Crisis: How Corporations, Activists, and Climate Alarmists Are Waging War on Farmers, the United States is not immune to these pressures. Indeed, the U.S. has already embraced the GMO-dependent industrial agriculture system being thrust upon

Yes. It’s being planned now.
“Never put anything from China into your mouth.”
Words to live by.
The leftists are trying to create food shortages. The Biden administration was killing cows and chickens (using flu as an excuse) which drove up prices.
He who controls the food, controls the nation.
Eat ze bugs.

That’s why sending food to 3rd world famines is a waste of time. It just rots in warehouses.
“That’s why sending food to 3rd world famines is a waste of time. It just rots in warehouses.”
Or more than likely sold on the black market.
I have started to volunteer at our local food pantry. Fish comes from China…….not a surprise. Frozen green beens from Egypt blew my mind.
Unless you harvest your own.
I’d rather import food than 3rd world pickers that work cheap and vote Democrat.
Yes.
Yes, there is.
I’m starving at this moment!!
In the last couple of years I’ve seen...
Arby’s out of Roast Beef.
Pizza Hut out of Large pizza dough.
McDonalds out of straws and cups.
World governments have been speedrunning totalitarianism since 2020, so a man made food crisis in a nation with an obesity epidemic is not out of out the question.
Dems are planning on a shortage.
Well, that’s one way to help the fake meat and “edible” bug market.
Getting ready to plant my spring garden soon, this year larger than ever.
Artificial scarcity is the tool of tyrants, be it food, water, economic opportunity, housing, transportation, education, or any other aspect of life. Subsidies or rationing are but opposite sides of the same coin, and both are antithetical to the open and free exchange in the marketplace.
The greatest distribution of goods and services the world has ever seen came about through the freeing up and opening of markets in commodities and services of every kind, even with some of very dark outcomes, which led to excesses and an almost slavish addiction to the products or services supplied. There is also the prospect of failure in any venture, should the product or service offered prove to be not of popular demand.
I don’t have much trust in restaurants any more after seeing who works in them and most or their food is like fast food joints boxed caned or powder form anyway and the prices are more then the worth.
