[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 5800470, member: 58386"] The issue is not food inflation. The issue is overdependency on somebody else. Well,, that somebody else isn't going to assume the risks of growing your food in an increasingly volatile weather, labor and market conditions unless he can get a return for taking those risks. I have friend who lives in Pennsylvania who told me the other day that last year 2023 , 57 million chickens were lost to Avian Influenza in Pennsylvania alone. China lost nearly it's entire hog population to highly contagious swine fever and the disease nearly got into US swine populations but was stopped in the Dominican Republic. Right now France has Avian Influenza and as a result it cannot export any poultry to the US and there are currently 5 Pennsylvania counties under quarantine due to the reemergence of Avian Influenza. No matter who's in the White House there is nothing he can do when it comes to livestock and crop losses due to weather and disease. [/QUOTE]
