wheat rust of the kind the ancient egyptians suffered is back with a vengance. No wheat means no ...pies bread beer pasta cakes pastries etc etc.
scientists have said they have six months to find a soluion but have as yet got nowhere.
the days of cheap plentiful grub will be over by sometime next year.
I have wheat though and there has to be some wheat for there still to be bread being made, even if it's £50 a loaf
There are huge crop failuires happening around the world ...did you know that the recent English floods caused millions of pigs and chickens to be slaughtered?
cos there was no drinking water for them.
even the grass has failed in large parts of Wales ...either to flattened to cut or the ground to soggy to take machinery onto to cut ...meaning no winter feed for cattle.
Asia is buying up as much food stock as possible and prices are rising rapidly.
i know ...take no notice ...laugh at me ....buit think of me when your going hungry ...as the supermarket shelves become ever barer.
the days of cheap food are over for the time being.
we've had it very easy but ...time for a little survivalist mentality ...stock up on canned and dried foods.
if i had the time i'd hunt out some facts for you but ...the media seem to be steering well clear of this one.
That made me laugh. Aren't they like floating around in loads of water anyway? How can a flood cause a shortage of drinking water.
I wish they had pictures of those floating sheep.
I don't. My Dad is a farmer. Lots of wheat and crops for me
Does he have that farmers accent that they all have on tv?
What accent is that? I don't think so anyway but he does look farmer like.
A bit like a pirate but more friendly. Kinda like Somerset.
Welcome back rolly.
If bread is gonna cost £50 quid here by the end of 2008, I wonder what it'll cost in Zimbabwe by then. 800 trillion quid?
The price of bread has doubled in my country.
most water to begin with before being processed has some kind of shit in it
i'll bet you a loaf ...payable at next years prices.
a car for £50?! :eek2:
You can get wee scrappers for that easily, no tax, insurance, on it's last legs from someone looking rid of it. Usually last a couple of nights at best, used to always buy them for £20-30, rake the fuck out of it and then burn it out somewhere. Those were the days.
