We’re nearing a butter meltdown |
| This holiday season, grandma’s favorite sugar cookies might be missing a crucial ingredient. While inflation has infiltrated much of the grocery store, few items have been affected more than butter, which, according to The Wall Street Journal, could spell a holiday disaster. The problem starts with cowsRising costs for feed and labor have led farmers to reduce their cattle herds, causing a series of ripple effects:
How bad is it?Some might say we’re nearing a meltdown:
On top of all this, the latest foodie trend, with 10.5B+ views on TikTok, is charcuterie-style “butter boards.” Of course, a solution to all this would be turning to margarine. |

The irony is that CO2 is a natural product of fermentation. But most breweries aren't set up to recapture it, instead re-injecting from tanked CO2 later to carbonate the beer.OH COME ON NOW......it's time to sound the alarm, gents!

The good news is that regardless of desire, Congress can compel them under Railway Labor Act and have indicated that they will step in if necessary as this would be disastrous to our economy.sounds like the railroad hurdle we thought we had gotten past is not exactly cleared yet. Essentially they just delayed it until after mid-term elections.
‘Dubious at best’: Railroad workers’ rejection of new contracts revives strike fears
The threat alone carries hefty political ramifications for Democrats also grappling with inflation and a possible recession.
tl;dr: The upshot is that railroads could again be weeks away from a work stoppage that would halt 40 percent of the nation’s freight traffic, imperiling Americans’ food, drinking water and electricity supplies as well as the holiday shopping season.

My boys used to drink chocolate milk all the time, they don’t anymore which is crazy but I think they read it’s bad for working out or maybe too much sugar, not sure. Either way, chocolate milk was always something that would disappear pre-pandemic. We’d go to multiple grocery stores because they only liked a couple types way better but it’s a specialty type item so they’d often sell out. I’d buy up to 4 gallons at a time, yep, 4 gallons.So far no major outages here. I have noticed a few times that the milk cooler was more barren than usual, and zero chocolate milk (come on, brown cows, keep up!) or buttermilk offerings a few times.
That said, the railroad strike ordeal still isn't over with yet:
Railroad unions and their employers at an impasse: Freight-halting strikes are rare, and this would be the first in 3 decades
President Joe Biden called on Congress to intervene to avoid a strike that he said would ‘devastate our economy.’
Ha. Oddly enough I always drink about 8oz of chocolate milk after my workouts. Read somewhere many years ago that it was actually a pretty good post-workout bc it does have a little sugar to go along with he protein. As anything, just need moderation. It's easy to chug half the carton. As for brands, Borden has always been the gold standard for me, but as of a couple months ago, we can't get it any more.

Borden closing dairy plants in Alabama and Mississippi
MACON, Ga. — On Aug. 3, Borden Dairy announced it would be closing its processing plants in Dothan, Alabama, and Hattiesburg, Mississippi by Sept. 30, along with associated distribution branches. The move left milk producers scrambling to access processing facilities and some school districts...
They've replaced it with another brand (can't recall which) that is palatable, but def not Borden. Promise Land is also pretty good but more expensive. It is thicker and tastes like melted chocolate ice cream. It may actually BE melted chocolate ice cream.
Yes, that's it, I truncated the name in my previous post. Pretty good stuff, just a tad thicker and sweeter than Borden.Ever have this stuff?Ha.

It's like a milkshake
So shortages can prolong lives.
I heard the same thing and couldn’t believe it. That is insane.

I heard there was a chicken strike. According to them they are only getting paid chicken feed.
I think usage goes up around the holidays. Probably same reason for my buttermilk shortage. But for eggs (and chicken, turkey, etc.) there has also been a bird flu outbreak that's wreaking havoc here and abroad.

Depending on where you live, lots of panic buying for the winter storms. Combined with Christmas, it's a lot of demand.
Yup. What kind of manufacturing?
Oh boy, she's out there huh?.
Thanks for that gem. I hope she's off base about the farming stuff, but having talked to some farmer friends here locally in the past year or two, I fear she's not.
She could be the headliner at Farm Aid 2023.
lol that is a fair point. Honestly the drought conditions and fertilizer shortages concern me the most re: the farming industry. Well and Russia messing with the global oil economy. It's just a whole lot all at once with the potential to become a major problem really quickly, IMO. Time to bump my "building a compound" thread.
Nice? Maybe not
Any updates from there?
