[H/T MOHIB EBRAHIM] -- THEFEDERALIST.COM -- [ISMAILI DIGEST ED: Outstanding, must read article.] ARTICLE: John Rieley, a former Sysco food company sales rep explains that "Prior to [coronavirus], the majority of Americans would eat at least half of their meals away from home. So production was geared toward [bulk] food service. You can change over a plant, but all the machinery has got to be retooled. On the other hand, the demand for home meals has skyrocketed, creating imbalances in the supply chain." Milk that doesn't get to a processing plant has to be destroyed. Dairyman Rance Miles: "We're putting 700,000 gallons of milk on the ground today. It breaks our hearts. We're trying to donate milk and working with processors so we can, but what are you going to do, pull up to a food bank with a tanker of milk?" While dumping milk is grim, poultry and other livestock are even tougher. At week six, when a 50,000-chicken population is ready to process ...

"The food supply chain is breaking." The distress has not been limited to just livestock. Dairy and produce farmers have had to dump or throw out spoiled products due to a collapse in demand for bulk products, mostly because of shifting supply chains with the closure of restaurants, cruise ships, hotels, resorts, education systems, and ...
