Well, we’re on the way- we’ve got expensive eggs(probably going to get worse), last summer there was a 90-95% peach crop failure in Georgia[1] that somehow only made a small footnote in the news, and also last year’s orange crop failure in Florida[2] caused the state’s lowest yield since ~1929. There’s also global yields decreasing due to widespread drought[3] and extreme weather[4]. Also https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c977r51e1z0o[5].

Don't forget the orange crop that isn't being picked in California because the workers are in hiding.

Incredible how you don't hear about these things unless you actively seek the information out
