This experience is probably eye-opening for most Americans who have literally no clue where food comes from.

At the grocery stores in Los Angeles we have obscene huge surpluses of fresh produce and meat and dairy at very cheap prices, a lot of it probably going to waste.

California normally exports food, entertainment and software and only the entertainment and software is getting out to other states and the world.

One Ralph's had a twenty foot long section of huge ripe strawberries for 50 cents for a double carton. They're grown here in California and normally flown to customers around the US and around the world. But due to the economic chaos we get them all and most of them will rot before they're sold. Each store has a huge surplus of something different.

Only medical supplies are in short supply in Los Angeles, while the rest of the US is now living with communist style spot food shortages.

We fortunately already had respirators to wear while doing art work, but for everyone else they're unobtainable.



We ate ourselves sick with artichokes and freshly made pasta with strawberry shortcake, then last night filet mignon tacos.

Of course the hamster buyers are probably still inexplicably looking for bottled water at Walmarts or Costco and probably still disappointed. Why in Gods's name do they want bottled water it in the first place ? ? ? Pellegrino and brewed TeJava is sill in ample supply. They're not so interested in those items.

Oh yes, 9 volt lithium batteries I had to order on Amazon as local stores are out for some reason. Maybe TV remotes are being too heavily used.

If I didn't like cooking I'd probably be incredibly bored. There's only so much entertainment I can stand. I can't swim laps but we'll take walks through empty neighborhoods for a little exercise wearing our 3M respirators.
