I heard that a lot of things will be an issue because of the cold weather that Mexico has recieved this winter. Isn't there a lot of cocoa grown in Mexico? It seams like all parts of the world we import things from are being hit with bad weather and will make prices higher.

I might be crazy but I am going to start buying up extra sugar, coco & flour (putting in the freezer). I would subject that everyone also stock up on can goods too. Especially things that don't need to be cooked. You never know what this next year will bring. I am also planting a rather large victory garden this year as was done during WW II. It is time we woke up & smelled the coffee. Things may get bad.

Can't live a life of fear; that is what the media does to us. If it's going to happen, it's going to happen and there's nothing we can do about it. If it doesn't happen, we are none the worse.
