Our food supply chain is very fragile. I can't think of too many things that we consume or use on a day to day basis that at some point in production to consumption did not depend on fossil fuel. Cargo ships, trains, trucks all need it, so do farm tractors and heaters in chicken houses to name a very few. That is a link most take for granted, especially the tree huggers. That plus the 5 things in the article is something that most people have never considered. Most folks have two days of groceries in the house, most stores have very little more than that because the depend on JIT supply systems. I have been surprised that the local Mexican communities have not been hit hard with the Chinese virus. They live and work close together. But as my wife pointed out, they are tough folks used to tough times.
As the Sage of the Rock River said, "what if??"
