Massive price increases in everything!

Latest news is expected increase in price
of coffee due to coffee rust disease outbreak
in Central America. Before that, there was
pork, because of a pig disease outbreak.
And chocolate due to mainland China buying
much more. And beef, because U.S. herds are
at lowest level since (some very long time ago)
due to the drought last year in Texas. And
oranges, due to an outbreak of citrus greening
disease.

If I were the PR guy for, say, carrots, now
would be the time to send out press releases
for The Great Carrot Shortage. A massive
outbreak of Carrot Rot in China! 95% of the
U.S. carrot crop has already been sold to China!
Parsnip prices rising in anticipation of
widespread carrot shortages!

I know this is off topic but I'm a little worried about the price of
underwear

I guess they know their demographic quite well: corn-fed/bovine
suburban consumers.
