Food shortages getting worse trucking vaccines border closures get food now prepper pantry
stockpile hi it's AlaskaGranny Alaska Prepper if you've been to the grocery store lately perhaps
you're asking yourself are food shortages getting worse Water & Food Shortage 2022 Supply Shortages
Global Food Crisis I think the answer is yes i don't know what's happening where you are but
grocery shelves are becoming more and more bare stores are fronting more products so that there's
one row food on the front and there's nothing no food in the back and lots of areas are just
completely bare and you can't blame the store they're not getting the products that they want
and the employees are trying to offer you what they have and that's one of the consequences of
food shortages that we have to consider is if we can't get what we want are we willing to buy what
is available i think the first reason is because warehouses have less products less food available
i think warehouses have had a food stockpile in the back where the grocery stores don't have
food but the warehouses might but i think they're beginning to clear out all of the excess food that
they've had in the back of the warehouse because if you look at some of the food products in the
store now they're nearly out of date which means the food has been sitting somewhere for quite some
time and buying foods that are nearly past their expiration date which it's really not expiration
it's best buy used by sell by date but they're not the freshest foods that you want to be adding to
your prepper pantry food storage stockpile you want to be buying the newest freshest foods so
that you can add them in the back of your pepper pantry stockpile rotate food will last longer
and if you've noticed the dates on foods like i have foods that you've been stockpiling prepper
pantry for a while the dates are not adding up to it's a new food stock in the store the dates are
the same date that they've been having for quite some time in the store and so you're continuing
to buy the exact same food product it isn't being circulated through the stores and maybe it's not
supplied to the stores but the food is not being replenished so that it's the newer fresher food
stores are also being supplied from the warehouse according to their allocation
so if say the food warehouse had whatever the 100 percent of the food product they had and
then your store specifically ordered 20 percent of that food item they sent it to you and that
was how it worked but now if they're only getting sixty percent of the food you're only going to get
twenty percent of the sixty percent of the food item not of the hundred percent so they're having
to divide food supply up into smaller allotments so fewer food products are going to each store
i've also read that suppliers are sending foods to the cities first and they're ignoring the
smaller towns i don't know if that's true but it makes me wonder why some areas are saying
we don't see any food shortages everything is stockpiled just as we would like just as we're
used to when in other places the stores are obviously having fewer and fewer food products
on hand empty shelves you realize this is not the fault of the store the stores are not trying
to deceive you the stores are offering you the food supplies they have they can only sell to you
the food products that they receive they can order what food products want but it doesn't happen they
don't get full orders it's not that stores are holding it back or they're trying to trick you
so don't be angry and upset at your local grocery store they are trying to ease the way and maybe
they are moving out shelves and racks maybe they are spreading food thinner they're doing the best
they can to help you find what you want to help you be able to shop through the supplies that are
available and help you to find those things the stores are not trying to create a panic that there
are only a few things they're trying to spread it out and make it look as ample as possible
that's part of marketing and that's their job to make you feel like you can have whatever you want
even if that isn't really what's going on there are also worker shortages
covid pandemic has proven that across all areas of workers and all areas of our country
there are shortages no matter what the industry or business or the job they can't get enough workers
add to that the quagmire at the border Canada is putting vaccine mandates on all drivers from
all other countries you must be fully vaccinated which includes two vaccines and a booster for
truck drivers to be able to drive your truck or work for a trucking company across the border
there are nearly two hundred thousand licensed truck drivers between Canada and the United States
truckers who are licensed to cross the borders either way twenty percent of truck drivers do
not have all of the vaccines mandated by the Canadian government and what's happening is
American drivers are not allowed into Canada so they've been having a slow roll or the truckers
are just parking their trucks they're refusing to cross into Canada because they don't want to
be forced to do something they don't want to do it seemed at first that the Canadian drivers were
going to be exempt Canadian drivers don't have to have a vaccine but they can cross into America
but then suddenly Canada saying well wait a minute no truckers can't come back unless you quarantine
for 14 days drivers aren't going to drive their trucks into America to have to quarantine for
14 days and be completely out of work and when truckers return home that's not logical and when
you figure 20 percent of truck drivers don't meet the mandates specifications on either side of the
border you're going to have a problem the American government is also seeming to retaliate by saying
i think it's January 22nd that they're going to be requiring vaccine mandates at the US border as
well which is interesting that they're requiring vaccines of truck drivers on the northern border
but they're basically not requiring anything at the southern border so it doesn't make sense so
are we going to face more food shortages and the answer is absolutely yes another
factor food shortages to keep in mind is China which has 25 percent of the world's population
has been stockpiling 70 percent of the world's grain let that sink in for a while
China is buying up grains corn wheat rice barley from all over the world and they are stockpiling
it in China for their people for their products and that's something that you need to definitely
be aware of keep that in mind when you go to the store and you're looking for food products people
are reporting shortages on bread yogurt chicken beef eggs onion garlic peppers fresh produce meat
all the dairy products cat food and over-the-counter medication if you've
been trying to buy over counter medication especially for your children you'll see that
it is just in very short supply so if going forward in cold and flu season omicron covid
pandemic unknown future if you don't have those types of items you need to make sure that you have
the food the toiletries the over-the-counter medicines prepping supplies you rely on so you
can make the best of every single day of your life that's why we're preppers we want to have
those things on hand so even if you can't get to the store or the stores are closed or simply empty
it's not a disaster emergency for yourself and your family because you can go to your own
stockpile and provide the basic necessities which gives you time to figure out what to do next in a
huge emergency situation it's very comforting to know that you have the things that you need
and you can provide them for your family you can take care of yourself and your family and nothing
is going to be a huge emergency something that you didn't go to your pantry or your stockpile
cabinet and have that on hand it only makes sense to want to have those things on hand so that you
can take care of yourself and your family when you do go to the store think of it as a scavenger hunt
what are the things that i do want where can i find them and if i can't find them what can i
find instead and so maybe that will help lighten the load of worry that we have that we can't
find the things that we want maybe you remember back your parents or your grandparents saying
