I seriously want to know. A few days ago I went to Shoei and bought what I thought was ground beef. But I accidentally got that weird beef and pork mixture that I don't like near as much. I figured I had just carelessly picked up the wrong stuff since they're always right next to each other and I didn't bother reading the label until I got home. But the next day I went to Makino and had the same thing happen. Today I went to Shoei and there was no ground beef, just beef and pork mixed. So I went to Makino and it was the same situation.
So I'm wondering if we're having some kind of ground beef shortage. That would be odd considering I'm in Miyazaki and we're known for our beef cows here. But I didn't think the butter shortage I read about was real until the other day when a guy I know was in Cosmos looking for butter and I said "um, I heard there was a shortage, but I haven't used butter in a long time so I haven't been looking for it." And I helped him look for it and the shelves were full of margarine and other alternatives, but there was no butter in the store.
