Thanks for the update! Maybe it won’t be as bad as first reported.

Will the freeze kill the e. coli?

[Flavius]

Is it more frozen if it’s in caps

If there is a global reduction in harvests, leading to higher prices, then in the US we will just have to pay higher prices. In the Third World, when food prices exceed income and people face starvation, expect MAJOR unrest and mass migration (illegal immigration) to the West.

We may start to see a repeat of the barbarian migrations that helped lead to the fall of Rome.

IT WAS ADDRESSED TO SYSCO!!!!!

Quick call the Dukes!

Time to visit the seed store and beat the rush though I have most of what I need in the freezer. I look for a number of unexpected freezes this spring.

All my fault. I decided to become a vegetarian yesterday.

A sobering thought - Conditions in many American inner cities approximate 3rd World conditions - only held in check by government largesse — which CANNOT BE open-ended....

Mexico uses the most toxic herbicides and insecticides on its crops. Because everything in Mexico is done with corruption, I do not even trust their labeled organic crops. I try NEVER to eat ANYTHING from Mexico and so should you. Saving money by eating neurotoxins means that you end up with cancer or Parkinson’s. Not really a smart deal.

I’d rather spend more for American organic crops — not perfect, but the risk is far, far less. I want to keep my brain and neurosystem as free from poisons as I can because their dangers are cumulative and we all are exposed to enough stuff anyway.

My rule is: never be thrifty with what BECOMES you (anything you take into, or put on, your body). Save money on all the other things.

You are right on !!
