The argument that a Hormuz closure is a caloric crisis before it's an energy crisis deserves more attention than it gets in mainstream coverage and you make it with real specificity. Loved this piece.🌟
The caloric framing is exactly right (and very well said) and it’s almost always swallowed by the barrel-price conversation. Glad someone mapped it with this kind of specificity 🌟
That instinct to look away is very human. These systems " fertilizer, shipping lanes, food supply" don't pause because we're not watching... The good news: understanding the mechanism is already half the defence. Awareness is where resilience starts
I’m far more aware than I ever wanted to be. But it feels like the bad news never stops. And I agree that awareness is the beginning. We may have been blind to many issues previously, but we can’t make changes unless we’re aware.

Thank you @Divyang Dhyani (D. Dhyani) , they will start to talk about it in the coming weeks as it’s the early season… when it starts to be too late…
Keenly looking forward to it…
EEK!!!
That one word reaction says more than most paragraphs. The numbers are hard to sit with once you see them.

Correct, Oil gets the headline, Nitrogen gets ignored... but you can't eat crude :)
Something I'd rather not think about but should.

Ufff this is scary. Thanks so much for sharing this perspective. I had no idea about these aspects.
Scary is exactly the right word Morgan.
Most people only see the energy angle ...the food vulnerability is the hidden layer that hits the hardest.
Today's good news about opening will help.
Glad to hear the article helped you to learn more about these aspects !
Thanks a lot Wassim. Yes, let’s hope the news get better and better! But I’ve noticed some supermarkets are starting to lack a few products.
this is a very important post. Thanks you for writing
Thank you, Doug! Really glad it resonated. Always a pleasure to write these articles for bright and caring minds.
