Food Rationing in the United States?

Apparently so, though it is hardly an epidemic. Here's a quote:

Many parts of America, long considered the breadbasket of the world, are now confronting a once unthinkable phenomenon: food rationing. Major retailers in New York, in areas of New England, and on the West Coast are limiting purchases of flour, rice, and cooking oil as demand outstrips supply. There are also anecdotal reports that some consumers are hoarding grain stocks.

This is another story to watch over the long term. Americans cannot fathom such a thing as food shortages in their own country, but its likely to get worse going forward.
