Good news!


The lime shortage is resolving....


Quote:

The great lime crisis of 2014 has ended, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports. Earlier in spring, food businesses were hurting from high lime prices linked to reduced supply. The Associated Press reported a series of circumstances, including a citrus disease and the drug war in Mexico, led to a bright green problem. "Prices skyrocketed this spring from the usual $10-$12 for a 40-pound box of limes to up to $125, forcing shoppers and restaurateurs to do the unthinkable — substitute lemons in such staples as margaritas and guacamole," Diane Smith writes. The good news is that the summer season has triggered a growth spurt in production, and consumers are already noticing prices going down.


But ***ushima continues to leak radiation into our biosphere and the DK denial still smells like many spoiled limes........
