This morning the news lead into Good Morning America was the rationing of rice and flour by "big box" retailers like CostCo and Sam's Club. Apparently the world-wide rice shortage that has driven prices up by 70%, and the collapse of wheat crops in the last year is forcing them to ration the amount of rice and flour shoppers can buy. The upside of this is that those two staples are prime suspects number one and two for diabetes. I'm switching to quinoa. It's way better for you, healthwise and helps the Peruvian and Bolivian farmers. |

Just sensationalism and panic-provocation...I have always seen limits on certain products at those big box membership outlets.
