Abstract:

Once considered a poor man’s food, the peanut has become a scarce and precious commodity in North Carolina. Since December, supermarket shelves usually stocked with peanut butter have stood nearly bare. Some peanut snacks have vanished or doubled and tripled in price, and civic groups have begun looking for other foods to sell as fundraisers.
