    That would go over very poorly.

    Half of the people in the USA doesn’t believe your statement. Among those that agree with your statement, most wouldn’t be willing to take that drastic of steps to combat it.

    Rationing would destroy the farming world financially. Supply stays the same, but demand is reduced by government mandates.

    The cost of meat and dairy would drop which would bankrupt many farms. They can’t just switch crops, most beef is raised in ranches where there isn’t enough water to grow consumer crops. Then there’s the issue that about 35% of US corn production is fed to livestock. Limiting meat would also cause the price of corn to drop. Causing further chaos in the farming world.

      There is no point in individual rationing until the 7-10 largest impact corporations are brought to heel first. If they are going to guarantee that we are all fucked, then I’m going to enjoy myself while I can.
