Is it time to worry about a broken food supply chain?

Yes, it may well be time to be worried, or at least concerned, about the U.S. food supply chain. But, don t take my word for it look at what Tyson Foods Chairman of the Board said Sunday. He said the food supply chain is breaking due to the coronavirus pandemic. He sounded the alarm in a full-page advertisement in three newspapers.

At Albertson’s today, many shelves were bare. There were practically no vegetables, pasta, rice, beans, and fruit was low. Toilet paper, paper towels, wipes? Faggettaboutit. Also, the workers were ruder than usual. The man who sold me shrimp, which I returned when LWJ told me, via the marvel of what young folks call their phones, that I was using last week’s list, was unusually rude. I had to coerce myself not to enquire what he’d done his time for. Criminally rude. The check out person was nice, however. She was obviously new on the job. But she told me the delivery trucks were not coming as usual. The supply chains, they be breaking. Plenty of chicken though.
