My speculations on a potential targeted food shortage weren't really new information - just remembering food processing plants catching fire and extending the idea that the average American might be ill equipped to handle sudden, unprovoked violence. But then I remembered that lots of people are waking up, getting armed, and in general ready to stand their ground. Maybe even fight to take some back. So I deleted partly because I was wrong, and partly because even if I wasn't it still plays into the fear narrative that's constantly getting pushed out.
I probably do worry a little too much about things like that.
But you're right, there's an odd amount of "news" recently with cannibalism in it. And remembering all the zombie articles that came out in the past few years makes it even weirder.
