The Year of Mass Starvation: Mexico loses 80-100% of crops

That thread from yesterday that said that big store food prices were set to increase 200 (actually 100) percent doesn't seem so far fetched in light of this news.

This story is from Feb 11 though, are we just now seeing the price increases filter through the market or are there other things happening?

More bad news then! What next? This year really is the "PERFECT STORM"..Woopdy Fucking Doo!

We are living on stocks and speculations for the moment, nothing real. Wait for september...

September seems like a good month for financial doom but we're going to spend all summer being one power outage away from riots, methinks.

So,

does this mean more will be over and will keep what they pick in the farmer's fields?

Thank God my gardens are already looking great! As long as we don't get a late freeze after the winter from hell.

I live five miles from the border. Our crops are looking great. Can't think of any reason why that would suddenly change at the border. Yea, the tomatoes on the vines during the January-February freeze were lost, but most of the plants weren't and are doing great.

Winds from Japan went awry.

Uh....date is Feb 11, 2011 from the article.....bit old, don't you think?
