Food Shortage?

SOURCE: ABC Food Safety

Today i found out that most of the foods that I consume are imported from other places. No wonder I stopped seeing many products like milk, oranges and other fresh things since the oil crisis began. Now that I think about oranges i feel like eating one of those sweet and juicy oranges, but they are really hard to find and if I'm lucky enough to find some they are really expensive. Last week when I went to a store all the way across town I found some oranges and they were at $5/Lbs. That is really expensive. Now that most of the foods that I like do not come to me i have to become a locavore. This means that I'm going to start buying things from the local neighborhood. To get the freshest fruits and vegetables I need, I would also have to go to Echo Park Community Garden. This is the closest community garden to my house.

What Is Supply and Demand


There is a difference between supply and demand. Supply means how much of something stores or companies are willing to sell to the people. Demand just means how much of something people are able to buy. Something that I found that was interesting from a quiz that I took was that a lot of things are made out of oil. I was surprised to know that many of the things that I own and use are made out of oil. I would be horrible if we would ever run out of oil

Scary News


Today I was watching the news and I was surprised to hear that the oil supply is decreasing. They said that because of this they will no longer be able to make pain relievers because the active ingredients are made from oil. To me this is very bad, I get headaches constantly and now I have nothing to help get the pain go away. I guess I will try to take herbal medicine to take care of those bad headaches.

Life Without Shampo




Living a life with out shampoo is very hard. I could no longer take care of my hair and I don't feel comfortable with out it. When ever I shower I miss a step. I'm pretty sure that that I'm not the only one that thinks like this. I can not even imagine how girls feel right now, they must be freaking out. Their hair is all messy not. I don't like it. I wish we had more oil to make shampoo...
