Food shortages

[hollohas]

The scare tactics used by this administration are absurd. If we let the measly sequester happen...

- Food will run low.
- Our military men and women will be forgotten.
- Criminals will be set free on our streets (DHS has already started letting jailed illegals walk)
- The FAA won't have enough air traffic controls so airplanes will crash.

On and on. I simply can't believe anyone is falling for this BS.

I wonder if this is that "warning shot," that Joe was talking about before the declaration of marshal law for the greater good. I mean this could have all been avoided if we had all just agreed with our fearless leader.

About the time I think what I am writing is a bit too tin foil hat for my tastes, I look at the progression and I really have to wonder wtf is going on.

I'm sure the grocery shoppers of families have noticed the continual slow rise of prices on meats, items with wheat and refined sugars, so it's not a surprise that Dire Warnings are now predicting food shortages. The "sky is falling" mentality with food availability and prices has been an ongoing cry for the past twelve months, if not longer. I hope people are considering other options aside from the local King Soopers as a provider of groceries: canning is an option (and it works with meats as well as fruits and veggies), Farmer's Markets, even co-ops should be a part of the equation. As Minister of Finances for our family, I plan in stretching those pennies until Lincoln yelps, and that means taking a long-term approach. I think that's what ends up biting most folks in the behind- they don't plan ahead. I'm even going to try my hand at container gardening this year. I'm tired of the bruised produce and the ridiculous prices at the big name stores!

That's why you wait until after the first frost, or maybe even the first snow, I follow the same rule for squirrels. Granted been 20 years since I have eaten either, but I don't hunt either until after the first frost.

Just had bacon wrapped rabit the other night TASTY. Im glade I have ayears worth of food saved

Hmm, guess I might have to harvest the local rabbit population. Only people going hungry are the ones that don't know where the food in the grocery store comes from.

Sadly, my local suburban rabbit population has mysteriously dwindled recently......

That's OK, spring is around the corner and they will multiply again.

I bought the last 25lb bag of sugar from my local Walmart...soon all the shelves will look like the ammo shelves!

I have (2) 25lb bags of sugar I will sell for $75ea or both for $140 FIRM. Get them before there is no more sugar!

I'm sure my food supply isn't what it should be, certainly not when compared to devout preppers, but I know my wife and I will have nourishment for a while regardless of what happens... that's all any reasonable, responsible, person can ensure for themselves....

If a couple months went by without any distribution from the heartland to the coasts, how many people do you think would perish?

Some may starve, but I think most will be killed for their food by the wolves in our society...

the sky is falling!...the sky is falling!...the sky is falling!...

I admit I have 60lbs of rice stashed. You got to have carbohydrates. If you have that much rice per person, you are probably not gonna starve for six months. Add a few cases of canned tuna, etc. and you are good!
