This is part of the reason why me and my other half don’t go out to eat that much anymore
This must be the new liberal “MEME”.
Same article published in the Boston Globe today but with a local twist.
This is what Idiot liberals do when..
A.) It’s an election year.
B.) Global Warming Policies “ come HOME TO ROOST”!
There does appear to be a worldwide food shortage. Both India and China are prohibiting the export of rice.

There is a steak house around here that has a beautiful view of a cow pasture.
Oh well, there is supposed to be a global obesity crisis, too. Perhaps one will fix the other.
I am truly sorry for those who are really hungry (and underweight), though.
It seems to me, however, that we should not be reading daily rants about how fat we all are right along with daily rants about how there’s no more food, or what there is is unaffordable.

Me too. We spend a little more at the grocery store for good items and make dishes up ourselves at home.
Yepp!! The idiotic ‘let’s burn our food, it’s cleaner’ nonsense is filtering through the markets. Thanks for playing. Maybe now they see what idiotic policies have wrought.
SPOT-ON! Let's all reduce our CO2 output by 50%, 70% or even 90% over the next couple decades. We'll do it by taxing all fossil fuels! That'll force those evil consumers to mend their profligate energy wasting ways!
Lib response...Oops! Tee Hee. We forgot that all farm equipment is powered by fossil fuels, all ammonia fertilizers originate from natural gas, that food is transported to market with fossil fuels, and refrigerated by fossil fuels in-transit and in the retail store. And we forgot the growing crops for ethanol would displace food crops. Aren't we a bunch of silly gooses?
Arbys is my restaurant of choice.

I’m not spending any more money. Gas has doubled and some grocery items cost 25-50% more now. I’ve basically quit eating out, and buy mostly stuff on sale to balance things out since
I’m not the government and don’t have a money tree in the back yard.
When we occasionally go out though I want to go to a restuarant. They do tend to serve a lot of food (that we expect) Maybe they could offer smaller portion with free 2nds instead , to cut down on waste and cost.
I thought you just went to the store and get rice or whatever you need. Why would growing crops for fuel affect food in the stores? They’re completely different.
