Well, I'm screwed. Limits on rice purchases.

I call BS... I refuse to believe Jesda would feign health consciousness - rice doesn't taste like Bacon... unless of course it's prepared in bacon grease, then I might believe it.

Either way... I can somehow understand a rice shortage, but there's zero reason there should ever be a flour shortage in this country. If it were to get to that point, then that's the day we better stop being the "breadbasket" of the world by exporting half of our wheat to foreign markets. I've got nothing against anyone else... but we have enough things to worry about on the homefront and feeding ourselves should never be one of them.

Rice....with bacon bits mixed in...Jesda, are you hearing this???

[Jesda]

Been there, done that. Bacon isn't that bad for you until you add it to burgers and steaks or have more than a couple thin strips at a time. Two slices and a cup of rice is a good way to start a morning.

for you it might be just a slight raise in price. For others in poorer countries it means they have to do with half of the food which was already scarse...

I have bags of rice in my cupboard that are older than my son.
I am not overly worried about it.
I also have a Costco membership so anytime I need a 15 year supply of rice I'll go up there and buy a bag.

Just lop the head off the guy standing next to you with a machete and you'll have plenty. Tried and true.

I thought this thread was going to about parts shortages at the Honda factory.

There have been some Chinese agricultural officials in the Fairbanks area looking to buy seed potatoes. There is no history of there ever being any potato blight around here and yields are huge. Maybe they're looking for a crop that will more efficiently employ their land.
