Today while a was walking home I noticed that some stores were closed. I thought that they were just to lazy to open the stores. When I got home my mom told me that they had gone to the store and that she didn't end up buying nothing becuase almost everything was out. She told me that she decided to go home and wait for me till a got back from school, so we can go to another store. As we got there I never would have thought that most stores had the same problem. I asked someone who worked there, and asked them why is there very little food when its always packed. He said the reason why is was like this is because shipping cost are very high. They are being charged more to transport fresh food, and produce from other cities/countries. I've never would have thought that food will be a big problem cause of the oil shortage. Since oil reserves are being wasted, transportation for fresh produce from other places such as (Atlanta Georgia, Seattle Washington, Mexico, Guatemala, .etc) are more harder to accomplish because oil is more expensive.
Some people were going crazy, becuase of the Food Shortage. Not alot of people were complaining but once they notice how much they need food they will start to panic. Not only were people complaining about the food shortage but also about the higher prices. The good thing about this problem is that I will be forced to change my diet, therefore it will benefit me, but not everuone will be happy about this. But I am concerned about the Food Shortage. We are going to all have to buy our food from the local farmers market. The good thing is that we have 2 farmers market that are a little close to were we live. Hopefully prices are not as high there or atleast hope that they have some fresh food. When we got there they still had some fod there, and it was all fresh but sooner or later the oil crisis will affect the farmers market aswell hopefully by the time that happens they have figured out how they will bring the fresh food to our local farmers market.
