Food bank only had raisins. My food stamps were cut by two thirds. Inflation is way up. Specific shortages. I asked some people around me and they're also struggling. No emergency announcements. Feels like a cover up. I heard US shale oil is peaking. All this and I live in the central valley of California, ag central. I should have food easily, instead it's a struggle.

Dude you need more than that, the availability of labour affects agriculture too would it be fair to claik thensupposed food shortage is related to excess desths due to covid.

What are you talking about? It's a major factor. I didn't say it was the only factor.

How is it creating a food shortage? It would be a factor in a price increase not a shortage.

Everything is connected.

So you dont have anything worthwhile to say then, could have started with that.
