Why there will soon be tons of toilet paper, and what food may be scarce, according to supply chain experts
CNBC ^ | March 19, 2020 | Jade Scipioni

Stuck rationing toilet paper because you didn't stockpile during the coronavirus panic over the last few days? Don't worry, according to supply chain experts.

"All the grocery stores are going to have pallets of toilet paper sitting in the aisles and nobody is going to buy it because who needs to buy toilet paper when you got a year's worth sitting in your garage," Daniel Stanton, a supply chain expert and author of "Supply Chain Management for Dummies," tells CNBC Make It. But what about food? Even if the COVID-19 pandemic stretches over months (President Donald Trump said it could last until August), there will no big food shortages, especially on staples like milk, eggs, cheese, bread and meat, according to three supply chain experts who spoke to Make It.

Chickens lay 80% — 8 eggs per 10 chickens per day.

Our daughters are both excellent cooks and quite adventurous. We never kept pancake or cake mix in the house and taught them how to make everything from scratch. They are in their early 30s now and still do that. I love it when they ask for old family recipes. One of them just asked for Oma’s Pound Cake recipe that probably goes back 120 years.

Our son took cooking class in High School and that has served him well, too. He’s good at the BBQ, of course.

I never used those words. But nothing in your post suggested that you felt the need to prepare for hard times.

I have some friends who are the God will provide, which I do believe He does, and they do NOTHING to prepare in advance for any sort of unexpected situation. They would certainly expect God to drop food out of the sky.

I never was able to figure out, or find out from them, how they expected God would provide when they never used the resources He gave them to make wise use of it.

FWIW, if someone is not a Christian and they see the stores running short of food, it is NO surprise that they would panic buy.

I expect it as it happens for every snow storm as if we’re going to be frozen in for a month instead of plowed out in a day.

I knew there would be a run on things, but NEVER expected it to get this bad. Especially the TP. Sheesh........

Proverbs 21:20

The wise store up choice food and olive oil, but fools gulp theirs down.

They make others give up what they had stored in preparation-

“Made from the ones cracked in handling?”

No, there are egg-breaking machines in many U.S. egg-breaking plants, fed with whole eggs. One breaking machine can break and drain (and also separate) 216,000 eggs (18,000 dozen) per hour. That’s 1,728,000 eggs (144,000 dozen) per shift.

One grading machine can pack 168,000 cartons per shift.

AMEN!!!!

Proverbs 6:6-11 Go to the ant, sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise.

Without having any chief, officer, or ruler, she prepares her bread in summer and gathers her food in harvest.

How long will you lie there, sluggard? When will you arise from your sleep?

A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest, and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and want like an armed man.

but apparently never thought about stockpiling the gasoline needed

Bingo!

But better is to get the propane carburetor; as that stuff will NOT gum up over time.

And I have not had to buy toilet paper, paper towels, or facial tissue for 32 years. It's customary in the business to have a quarterly employee product giveaway.

I do the programming on paper machines that make over 100 tons each machine per day. Each bale of pulp that goes into the giant blender weighs 500 pounds each. 18 bales every 20 minutes. It's an amazing process to be part of. The dryer runs 4,000 meters per minute. That's a sheet of toilet paper 26 feet wide going 12,000 feet per minute. 2.5 miles every minute.

Never forget that, taken as a whole, people are incredibly panicky, stupid, and short-sighted.

Kinda like sheep; without a shepherd.
