The just in time food supply chains we have come to (over)rely on are incredibly complex. They enable us to have food from across the globe pretty much on demand. They have done away with the notion of seasonal eating that those of us with a fair few decades on the clock remember from our childhoods and teenage years. They have become something so integral to the way we live these days that we barely give them a second thought.
Just in time, my ass. Just in time to see you starve, just in time to stand in lines.
