After my warning email, one daughter said she had bought some dry goods back when the panic first hit. She's ramping up now to increase her stocks. She's short on bread substitutes, so I told her to look for (Brad's idea) pancake mix that just adds water. She's not a prepper usually, so here's the guidance I gave her so she'd get going;
"I do not see this as a total collapse where people literally starve to death. But I DO think that the food shortages that we are having now are going to return after a brief period of respite. I'm suggesting that you use your current grocery-ninja skills to keep building your basic, stable pantry goods. If we do have a period of easier access, use it to double down."
