The author completely neglected to factor in the additional cost of RENTING A DAMN SPACE to store all that food you are hoarding. NOW - how much do you save? (I don't have ROOM in my kitchen/pantry/freezer to REALLY stockpile anything.)
Next war: Brazil. Screw the oil, we need more FARMLAND!

oh come on now Joe, let's all hoard all the food we can... and see how long it really does take us to create a illusionary shortage because all the food is stored away at people's homes, and then less see how fast it drives prices up, and how much faster they go up then the are now.
I realize the price of food has gone up a lot, and quickly, but that is in great part because of the price of fuel, but some of us have seen things like this before, when Nixon took us off the gold standard, and then Jimmy Carter got elected and found ways to compound the problems caused by going off the gold standard, and those things together were the cause of what they called the "misery index? back in the 1970's. Then strangely enough by a year or two after Carter left office, and Nixon had been out of office for some time, prices came back down.
