Well, there are two supply chain disruptions in play. One, restaurant demand is switching over to consumer demand, and the packaging and distribution is very different -- you don't buy 50lb sacks of pancake mix, half a pallet at a time, I reckon. Secondly, there have been food processing plant closures. This has a number of ripple effects. With the plant closures, farmers have been forced to destroy market-ready animals, dump milk, etc. So there is not only less processing capacity, but less input available when the plant opens again. I had a phone call from an aunt in rural Iowa yesterday -- she reported paying more than US$7/lb for ground beef... in a store literally 5 miles from my brother's beef finishing feedlot. The insanity of that situation boggles me.
