The real question is whether there's a real shortage anywhere. If there is, there will be one everywhere, soon.
Sure, if you want to monger those fears.

No shortages here, but probably the Monday after Easter when literally everyone cooked at home for change is not a good time to make an assumption on the food supply.

If anything all the news report say we our oversupplied, we are literally throwing away tons of goods due to lack of demand. Without all the restaurants and cruise industry demand has plummeted.

So it's your anecdotal evidence against his.

Posts like the OP worry me considerably even if my grocery store was well-stocked last week.


So even though your experiences back up Salmon, you choose to disregard his post and go with the OP.

It’s true that OP picked a bad example (trashy Walmart on Easter weekend) but his point is being missed. It could all crumple quickly if a food shortage occurs.

Went to Nunu’s in Youngsville on Saturday...they are doing a great job of stocking everything.


They really are. Make sure you let them know that too.

limited choices of what was stocked.


My grandparents generation made it though a depression and food rationing. Today, if we have limited choices at Walmart, we lose it.

This is an issue of public health and safety, not politics. Dems gotta eat too.



Then why did they try to add "board diversity" and "same day voter registration" to the Coronavirus relief bill?

Check out what happened to the Smithfield plant in SD. Next hoarding will be for pork. 293 employees in the plant have test + so far.


Sao isn’t making this up. There’s an article in the Houston Chronicle about the Smithfield plant and their comments.

Not unlike hundreds of Chinese owned corporations though. We let them in decades ago. We only have ourselves to blame. America is addicted to buying shite and the cheaper it is, the more we buy. Consumerism has to change before we can sit around and bitch about it.

I'm saying that, for as long as as I have a family to feed, I will sit up and pay attention to reports of disruptions in the food supply chain. That's just sensible.

I'm not going panic buy a months worth of groceries based off this one report, if that's what you think I was saying.
