Weird thing I’ve been seeing...shortages with specific plant based products during the pandemic. I guess food shortages have become common...has me wondering why.
Among my guesses:
-production problems, boring but possible
-a demand spike, fueled by way more people ordering groceries remotely, and dispelling a prior sense of careful cost-conscious shopping (my favorite theory)
-a demand spike, fueled by people rationalizing high priced groceries because they’re spending less on restaurants (and bars and maybe everything else)
I know my own willingness to pay premium prices for, say, Miyoko’s cheese products has gone way up this year, but isolating why seems hard.
