I remember my parents and grandparents bemoaning the loss of products they had enjoyed throughout life, but those losses were due to failed businesses or change in popularity among purchasers. I think mine and coming generations are going to see the loss of entire segments of products and foods due to climate change--totally changing the way we eat, drink, and consume. It is not going to be "pretty," but at its worst imagining- almost akin to humans left eating a pill each day in Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World."

sigh...
