Seriously, I am not the harbinger of crisis. However, one can’t help but notice the growing problems with food supplies around the world. As I blogged yesterday, Japan is facing shortages in certain foods. Last night news was trickling in about food shortages starting to appear in the USA, and more specifically Costco. Apparently the situation in some areas has got to the stage where grocers are restricting the amount of staple foods that can be purchased per customer. The problem is, such constraints only cause more hysteria, which exacerbates the problem further.
