Scary News About Grocery Shortages

Tweet

I watched a very informative YouTube video last night about the coming food shortage. It's like a futuristic movie or something. This person predicts that by the end of March 2025, there will be many empty shelves. Certain types of food will not be available or will be very highly priced. Global shipping interruption has reached a 5 year high, container costs have tripled since December 2024. Extreme weather events have damaged crops in key growing regions around the world. Here are a few of the foods that will be effected: * Olive Oil-- Spain and Italy produce 60% of olives and their production has dropped 35% due to a heat wave that cooked olives right on the trees. It was 115 for weeks. * Coco products -- Prices are up 78% since last year. By mid-March 2025 many products will be very hard to find. Stock up on chips. * Citrus fruits -- With three hurricanes in Florida their production hit a 90-year low. Production is down 60% since last year. Lemons may disappear altogether. * Coffee -- There has been an 18% price hike at Starbucks. Brazil is suffering from the worst drought in decades. COffee plants are very sensitive to temperature change. * Seafood -- There has been the strictest fishing restrictions in 15 years. Shrimp prices up 40%, crab season cut short. * Rice -- A great shortage due to weather changes and drought. * Berries -- Climate and driest winter in 15 years. * Specialty flours -- We will see shortages and unavailabilities in Almond, coconut and oat flours due to supply chain issues and extreme weather. * Meat -- Cetain meat cuts will sore due to processing costs and labor shortage. * Dairy alternatives -- Shortages in oat milk and other plant-based products due to equipment shortages. The production and demand for these products are not met. Trump's lack of belief in climate change is going to keep this going and it will get worse. Tariffs are going to be an issue for equipment that has already been seen. So nice to have an ignorant fascist on board. NOT!!
