Food Rationing Confronts Breadbasket of the World | The New York Sun

If anyone had suggested the thought that food rationing would be taking place in the US a few years ago, or even last year, they would have been thought to have been seriously disturbed or have access to a stash of some “really good stuff”.

I believe that there is going to be a world food shortage that is going to significantly affect us, already the price of bread has rocketed in our local shops as has the price of pasta and other staples.

Maybe the much despised EU CAP will soon turn out to be seen as having been a very good investment for Europe to have been making after all.
