food shortages in some places
with the truckers on strike and all - these high gas prices are causing some major hurt.

1. We are all going to hurt some in the coming times
The goal of these truckers is to make those times short...I fully support their mission to shut it down NOW.

5. Not just veggies, either.
People with the space need to put in some calorie crops - flint corn for grinding; potatoes; wheat if they are adventurous (I grew a tiny plot of wheat in my back yard in LA - made some very tasty whole wheat bread...).

6. Gas prices are causing food costs to go up, but what food shortages do you mean?
If you are referring to my "OMG CHICKEN!!!1" post, that was a joke.
