I’m all out of milk, cheese, tomatoes, and eggs. I went to the store and it was impossible to get them. It was devastating to think that I will never eat and drink these products ever again. I was appalled because I have never experienced such horrible limitations. Food products today are becoming scarce due to the oil crises. Since oil is limited, transportation is no longer available for food. Although, I am still able to find some local food products it’s not as easy as it used to be. What am I suppose to do when food becomes scarce? Am I supposed to be growing my own crops for fresh produce? I must rely on locavores; I really need to find local areas where I can buy my produce so that I don’t have to rely on imported food. Maybe, I can start searching for a farmers market. If that’s an impossible solution, I can look for other solutions. I have heard about the new way of creating food, people are calling it "Frankenfood”. When fresh food is not within reach, you can always count on Frankenfood to have the job done. Frankenfood is simply a substitution for food. I really need a solution for my food supply soon before it’s too late.
