I went to Tesco day before yesterday and saw many baskets normally full with vegetables and fruits being put upside down with a cardboard sign "Out of Stock". Then I went to look at the chicken section to check out the prices since I've heard some hoohas about chicken shortage in the news. I saw empty rows of rack where the chicken used to be displayed. Saw only a few packs of chicken with prices higher than usual. What happened? Are we having food crisis?
I decided to buy meat instead. I'm a bit worried about the trend of the increasing price of almost everything but there's not much we can do about it other than growing or rearing our own food like the good old days. Anyway the rules of supply and demand will always apply right? So if chicken supplier gives problem, let's buy fish or meat or eggs. If every food supplier wants to give problem, let's buy sardines instead.
I only have to worry about one mouth to feed. I wonder how parents with many little mouths to feed fares.

Thanks to the recent very thoughtless, hasty knee-jerk reactionary diesel and petrol increase.
yup fishtail. does't matter how much pleading is done for people not to take advantage of the situation, the market will still react accordingly.
