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.
I mean I don’t see how it has anything to do with allegations of a secret food crisis, it seems like a non sequitur.
Literally agriculture depends heavily on oil.
It’s a lot more complicated than that. Even if we accept a simplified model where “more oil = more agriculture”, the US has seen massive growth in oil production over the past decade so it contradicts the claim that there’s food shortages because of oil production. If there are food shortages happening right now it’s not at all related to oil production in the US.
