I think there is plenty of food. The problem is some people are not letting it get delivered. I heard someone say their walmart is loaded with toilet paper & other stuff but they were told not to stock the shelves.
Quoting: Half Past Midnight Ok... so help me with this. Let’s say a canner produces 100,000 cans of green beans one day, 100,000 cans of corn the next,... 5 different types of fan vegetables a week for 500,000 cans a week.
They have 3 months stock between their warehouses and the wholesalers and distributors and stores. 6,000,000 cans in the supply line.
Then corona hits... in a matter of weeks all their stock in the pipeline is sold and demand is still twice what they can produce. This would seem to make sense given that the stores are unable to restock can goods quickly.
Reasonable?
So they need to increase production to at least 1 million cans a week just to meet demand... forget about the pipeline.
Do you have enough commodities - green beans, kidney beans, corn, etc..
No.. not in February. You have to find some on the open market out of South America or god knows where. Those farms are unlikely to have excess produce. Besides, their country may be having runs on food too.
Where am I wrong... seriously. How can these canneries catch up on production until the crops start coming in later this year?
Same goes for cattle. They are not created by a vending machine.. they have to be birthed and raised and fattened up.
Chickens - quicker growth period bust still in months.
I am not buying into the argument that there is plenty of food on the way.. I don’t think they have it. At the very least - prices goin’ way up.
