Thank you for the comment and support @preparedwombat .. I've only just arrived back home so have not had the chance to read the article, I appreciate different perspectives so rest assured I will. I certainly feel that there is going to be some kind of breakdown/large price increase in the global food chain and it disturbs me how reliant people have become. Time to reclaim the scattered vestiges of our self-reliance, before they're scattered to the four winds. Thanks again!
