It’s late and I am going to bed but if I was you, I’d start paying attention to all the news reports you’re not seeing about riots all over the world over food scarcity and sky rocketing prices.
The price of rice, a food staple for millions of people, has gone up 40% in the last year.

I knew I was tired and I knew I had heard wrong, but I didn’t think I was THIS far off!
From the comments, Chief says;
“I thought I saw on CNN this AM that rice went up 347% in the past year.”
That makes what I am seeing even more worrying!
