World's wheat stores lowest in 26 years

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture drought and flood in both Europe and North America have resulted in the lowest world wheat inventories in over a quarter century. The situation will likely lead to a price spike this winter for wheat and wheat-based products. In response McDonald's has proposed temporarily replacing the wheat flour buns in all of its sandwich lines with hamburger patties. “This is a logical solution based on the current state of the world's food supply” stated McDonald's spokesperson Margret Marge. “The Big Mac will now consist of two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles and onions on two more all-beef patties. Oh wait. Make that three more all-beef patties. I always forget about that dumb-ass middle bun in the Big Mac. My bad.” When asked of the possibility that the bun for the Filet-o-Fish sandwich would be made out of fish rather than beef Ms. Marge responded, “Now you're being ridiculous.”
