Ah....the privileged world we live in

 When I saw a CNN headline on food supply chain problems I thought it would be a good idea to see what staples I should try to stock up on. It focuses almost entirely on snack food and treats for kids and gourmet spices for. I did like that food makers are telling grocers to cancel promotions on these items. I don't like seeing people load their grocery cart with a particular product but I shouldn't really judge that as perhaps they're buying for a group. Once, someone did comment, "Leave some for the rest of us!"

"If you hoped grocery stores this fall and winter would look like they did in the Before Times, with limitless options stretching out before you in the snack, drink, candy and frozen foods aisles, get ready for some disappointing news.

Many of the country's biggest food makers are telling grocers that they will have limited quantities of a number of their products, including items such as Rice Krispies Treats, Sour Patch Kids, some Ben & Jerry's ice cream flavors, McCormick gourmet spices and Marie Callender's pot pies because of labor, commodity and transportation constraints throttling supply chains, according to emails viewed by CNN and interviews with grocers. Some suppliers are also telling grocers to cancel their promotions of these items and more over the holidays so products won't disappear from store shelves as quickly."
