Hello Folks!

From Westergaard:

--------------Begin quote

"Modern day farming is a corporate business. Agricultural products
are stock market commodities which are bought and sold. In order for
these products to reach the consumer, they must be traded.
Delivering them to the consumer is a long intricate process of
transactions: from the producer to the wholesaler, from the
wholesaler to the distributor, from the distributor to the local 
retailer who in turn sells it to the consumer.  All of these transfers 
are dependent on computer transactions. 

[snip]

Given the nature of today's market, in which very often food is delivered
in relatively small amounts in order to avoid surplus, what little 
remains on the shelves will disappear in a matter of days. 

For example, most U.S. cities have approximately 72-hour's worth of
food within their borders. The U.S. as a whole only has a three-month
supply. Even with a rationing system in place, necessities such as
bread could become virtually non-existent or at least prohibitively
expensive."
