2. Rising prices and shortages are small problems

What's making it into a big problem is hoarding, both by individuals and by distributors.

They're throwing hoarders into prison in the Philippines. Maybe we need to consider that here.

Most hoarded foodstuffs are just going to end up feeding the bugs because most people don't have freezers dedicated to storing large quantities of grain.
