    It’s actually horrifying when you think there are places in the world where rice is the staple carbohydrate.

    That means that starvation is coming to those parts that can’t afford it during the coming shortage.

      I was coming at the story from the rice shortage angle, but yes, food shortages do raise prices on food ingredients.

      Although the respectable thing for Kellogg would have been to stop making it entirely.

      People are complaining about the new formula Riceless Krispies.

    Maybe it’d be better if we didn’t all buy the same products the world-over from the same megacorps, especially food.

    If the UK can’t grow rice, then they shouldn’t have Rice Crispies. Food security starts at home.

    I mean no one should eat that crap anyway, but that’s a point aside.
