The current Netherlands farmer protests are not covered by American media.  These protests are a reaction to the WEF's (World Economic Forum's) nitrogen policy.  The gov't there is demanding livestock be culled and farming be drastically cut back. Why? Because nitrogen.  It is interesting to note the air we breathe is 77% nitrogen. 

I am posting this here as this policy will exacerbate the food shortages already happening.  This Winter promises to be a rough one.

Global chickpea shortage predicted due to Russian/Ukrainian conflict, poor crop yields due to government action and changing weather patterns.  Hummus may have has gained some popularity in the US as a dip but chickpeas are an important staple in India and the Middle East.

"The largest chickpea exporter, Australia, has seen output decline as floods have left some fields under water, while the ones that can be harvested are struggling to find a spot in an ocean freight vessel container.

Meanwhile, Turkey, the second-largest exporter of chickpeas, completely banned the export of the bean on Mar. 11 to ensure domestic food supply security that could be jeopardized due to conflict between Russia and Ukraine."


Nothing invites conflict more than empty stomachs.

Palouse is offering free 2-day shipping and 20% off all 25lb products.  My family and I can easily live on beans, lentils etc. with added rice and vegetables.  I already have their 25lb bag of chickpeas and just ordered 25lbs of brown lentils.  I've always likes their brown lentils.  They don't get mushy when cooked. I've been storing bags of Costco rice and dehydrating veggies all along.

This deal is only good for today 7/11 and tomorrow 7/12/22.

Use the code FAST20 when checking out.

I may just order 25lbs of Red Kidney Beans.

I always miss Prime day.  Always miss Prime black Friday too.  Last year, I cancelled Prime altogether and found out I never really needed it.  Seems I can wait the 5 days it takes to ship stuff me after all.  

FOMO (fear of missing out) is a nasty piece of human nature that makes us all buy stuff so we can store it alongside our other stuff that we never really needed.
