I expect that there will be a lot of conversations around America’s office water coolers today regarding the made-for-television movie that aired last night: “Fatal Contact”. (It was about the Asian Avian Flu.) If just 5% of the American population puts two and two togther, then there will not be a lot of long term storage food available in the near future. Why?

Mark my words: Someday–perhaps sooner rather than later–those companies will be overwhelmed with orders.
