Personally, my family and I are not affected by the “eggo shortage”.
I can, however, sympathize with those that are locked into an industrialized food system that they must rely upon for their daily sustenance.
We choose not to be – as much as possible. We do have to purchase things, but we try to purchase our wheat berries in bulk and always replenish while we still have ample supply on hand.
Please note that anyone can make waffles with a few staple ingredients – they do need a waffle iron, but there are many types available – one could probably purchase one for the price of 1 month’s supply of Eggo waffles. After that the basic flour, salt, eggs, milk, butter, baking powder is about all you need for a “basic” waffle recipe.
I find it shocking that the country that celebrates “Independence Day” every July is the most “dependent” country in the world.
