Food Series: The State of Our Food System

with Alan Lewis

“You’re looking at a massive shortage of truck drivers, in particular. That is going to really put the pressure on deliveries and on price…. Add to that the increase in energy costs for transportation and logistics, we’re likely coming up on a national crisis here for food costs. I don’t mean to be making unnecessary predictions, but people need to be aware that it’s not getting better before it gets worse.”

  1. I recommend organic to people as a simple way to qualify products, but always with hesitancy because of the many loopholes in organic standards taken advantage of by letter-of-the-law, profit-trumps producers. Now I better understand the difference with “certified organic,” and will recommend it.

    Of course, knowing your local farmers and how they produce is best, but that takes a level of education that few possess or have interest in acquiring. For example, there is a roadside stand that sells eggs. I emailed and asked about the feed they use (because the cheapest feed contains seed oils and other things I do not want my eggs). Never heard back and therefore I continue to shop online at Nourish Food Club: https://nourishfoodclub.com/collections/egg.
