It’s gonna be different this winter.  

The end of last winter… America’s food supply chain ruptured… and all of us were left scrambling for most notably toilet paper.  But it’s easy to remember submitting your online order… and then only half the stuff you wanted - or less - would show up in your trunk.

The food industry saw this… and they say they’re ready for this winter.   Should  Covid gets worse during flu season… major producers are ready to crank out boxes of cherios… and goldfish crackers… and organic dairy products… in plentiful supply 

Bloomberg reports while you were camping this summer… major food companies were adding production lines for dried pasta and canned soup…. and good thing.  Because the stockpiling is beginning anew.

First half of this month demand for baking products spiked 3400% from a year earlier.  But that’s nothing.  After the lockdown… yeast and flour sales were up 6000 percent.

Grocery stores want to make sure the shelves don’t look like they’re bare.   So stores will be stuffed to the gills… with extra inventory heading toward the holidays. 

Clorox wipes are still a problem.  The good news is… if demand for crazy… and the stockpiling resumes.. the food industry thinks this time… its ready.
