One of the problems is that the people of this country, unlike those in Europe, have never experienced food shortages.

Do other readers still remember the gas shortages of the 70's, and the shock that Americans experienced when being told "sorry---only five gallons of gas per person today" (if it was even available). I sometimes wonder how some of these city people would react if someday, going into the grocery store, saw signs saying "limit only 1 gallon of milk and 2 loaves of bread per person per week".
