Food rationing in America

Not exactly. But this story talks about limits to purchases of rice, flour, cooking oil and other food at some retail outlets in view of recent price run-ups. From The New York Sun:

The curbs and shortages are being tracked with concern by survivalists who view the phenomenon as a harbinger of more serious trouble to come.
"It's sporadic. It's not every store, but it's becoming more commonplace," the editor of SurvivalBlog.com, James Rawles, said. "The number of reports I've been getting from readers who have seen signs posted with limits has increased almost exponentially, I'd say in the last three to five weeks."

TK: More than a tinge of tabloid journalism, quoting a survivalist blog.. Restaurants who buy from club stores like Costco and Sam's Club may be aggravating spot shortages by overbuying, but when I was in DC some Thai officials I met mentioned the limits on rice purchases in that region as well.
