I was in Walmart yesterday for the first time in 
awhile and the rice shelf was empty.

I wonder if the food rationing will be like the 
gasoline rationing is, just raise the price until there is still some left?
Food riot in a google news search (just) gave me 
2902 returns, on the 22nd of March when I looked for the first time it was 278.
