@Tatjna@moo.nz yup. this was going to happen eventually, given fossil fuels are a finite resource, but I really thought we had more time to transition (and we still might, depending exactly how much infrastructure has been destroyed in the gulf, and how long it takes to rebuild, if it ever is). Meat and dairy are going to become a /lot/ more expensive in the coming years though.

@kudra@aus.social I think it's likely to be any food that's intensively farmed tbh. I remember the fert requirements for things like grain cropping and market gardening way back when, and they were fuel heavy too. Like, many people can cut back meat and dairy but if staples like bread and cornflakes become luxuries we are in serious trouble.
