Title: Peanuts et al
Post by: knightquest on January 17, 2011, 07:55:22 pm

As you may or may not know, there is a shortage of peanuts and sunflower hearts. Both of which we sell in our shop.

It seems that the Chinese are buying up all products that yeild oil in any form for food production. Anyone else heard this or got any more info?

I honestly don't know, Ian, but I do worry about how close out Government seems to be getting with China.  Perhaps I'm old fashioned in not really trusting them yet?

I know what you mean Annie, my worry is also that they decide to do something like but all the peanuts for instance and they are so large that everyone suffers  :o Scary

That's not the bible but from one of the predictions of Nostradamus: 'the yellow man will rule the world'
