unsure if scrap metal, scrap plastic, scrap carboard are in CRB

the CRB subgroups are Energy, Grains, Industrials, Meats, Softs, and Precious Metals. doesn't sound like there's any scrap.

here is the twist
higher energy prices result in final food product prices not going down
fertilizers, heating costs for ranchers on livestock, farm machinery fuel
translates into steadily rising food costs


yep, i've read it takes 10 calories of hydrocarbons to produce, process, package and deliver one calorie of plant-based food. probably an order of magnitude worse for livestock.
