Rice shortage is going to cause chaos?
Was a long and dark December
When the banks became cathedrals
And the fog
Became God

from there:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'A')merica's food crisis
Food prices are soaring, making a significant impact on families and retailers across the country. Stores now limiting the purchase of staples such as flour, rice and cooking oil because demand is outstripping supply! Glenn looks at the cause and effect, tonight at 7 and 9 ET.

Ok seriously now
Nothing's going to happen. No Panic buying. People are BROKE!! Homes aren't atm's anymore. Credit cards getting maxed just to get food and gas to make it till next pay day. Besides most people aren't proactive just reflexive. They won't do anything until it has a direct effect on them as an individual. Then they are like a deer in headlights.

I'm a doomer and all, but we're a heck of a long way from the point where American's start starving because they can't afford rice.

I agree. What I'm saying is. MSM might be telling them to stock up for harder times ahead. I'm saying they won't. Most people don't have dispossable incomes anymore. How does a person living check to check spend even more money than normal on future food stocks? They won't. They only focus on the here and now and when the time comes when things realy do become scarce and they needs those food stocks they should have bought, they are going to be like OH-FUCK!!! Then it will get bad.
Just to add
When the government came out with the list of stuff a family should have on hand for a terrorist attack. How many people(consumer people) do you think realy have that on hand. Same principle

My vote, Glenn Beck is into rice futures and/or gets significant enjoyment from the idea of more Hatians starving.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Gandalf_the_White', 'A')re any of you guys buying this? How concerned should we be?
No, I don't buy it. I doubt there is any need for concern.
Take a look at the futures quotes for corn, wheat, and rice. Rice is the only one that's at the highs. July corn is at 5.92, down from 6.20. July Wheat is at 8.52, down from $12.40. Such price action diverges from the type of shortages being discussed.
If there were shortages, expect the prices to lock limit up day, after day, after day. We're simply not seeing it. If you don't care to follow the futures market, follow DBA, an ETF consisting of 25% each of corn, wheat, soybeans, and sugar. It's about where it was in January after an earlier runup. As if that weren't enough, it's below its 50 day moving average, MACD looks as if it's turning negative, and stochastics look as if they're headed lower after being overbought. Translated: prices look as if they're headed lower, not higher.
Don't worry. Be happy. Buy ammo. Not necessarily in that order.
