Based upon actual experience, it appears the counry is suffering from a lima bean (small, canned variety) shortage.
Stock up if you can find any.

I already have more than I will ever eat in my pantry. Translation: I have one can.
My #1 favorite vegetable. And I'm sure I'm on a small list
Sounds like a discussion between George Costanza and Jerry Seinfeld at Monk’s.

One of my favorite meals is the pork chop with butter beans at The Little Owl in NYC. Underrated veggie for sure.
Apparently, a long time ago the area surrounding Cape May, NJ was all Lima bean farms and Fordhook and Green Giant would buy up all the Lima beans. After harvest there would be a big celebration.
Those farms are gone but Cape May celebrates the history by hosting a “Lima Bean Festival” every year around the first weekend in October. It’s small and also doubles as a flea market but you can get Lima bean soup, Lima bean chili, Lima bean empanadas, and plain old Lima beans, in addition to the usual hats, Ts, and other Lima bean themed items. A good time and Cape May is very nice.

One of the few food shortages ever announced that cant hurt me. Hate em. Taste like dirt to me.
I throw myself at the mercy of the court
Be right back.
All is forgiven!I throw myself at the mercy of the court
You are possibly the only person in Cbus who is familiar with the proper application of flags.
Lima beans are one of the highest sources of potassium. Low potassium can cause heart rhythm irregularities and other problems. Wife last month was hospitalized for low K.
Wow! I'd have to cut the head off first, I don't like my food looking back at me!In Peru they eat them with ... guinea pig!
I love Lima Beans, it's the Brussel Sprouts I hate. The only thing they are good for is feeding the pigs with!
Yes to B Sprouts. Roasted with bacon grease. But legumes are poison. Avoid them.
It's the bacon and feta cheese that taste good.
Noooooo! The only thing you can cover them with is dirt! Hell the pigs don’t like them either
I just warmed up three cans in a large pot.
Taking my advice, I stocked up.
It's un-American not to like lima beans.

It sounds suspiciously like you may own stock in a small lima bean company.
