"Sam's Club, Costco limit rice purchases as prices rise"

(AP) — The two biggest U.S. warehouse retail chains are limiting how
much rice customers can buy because of what Sam's Club, a division of
Wal-Mart Stores Inc., called on Wednesday "recent supply and demand
trends."

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.
