Food for Thought (if we could eat our thoughts)


I found this to be interesting reading (and by interesting I mean it stimulated my paranoia - loved it!!)

from http://survivalacres.com/productdifferences.html

"Most people are utterly unaware how fragile the US food supply really is. The mega-mergers of family owned farms and corporate giants, the declining energy supply, the fragile state of our infrastructure and the vulnerability to things like hurricanes, pandemic, and oil prices are often misunderstood. America is the land of plenty, right?

Wrong. Not always. And certainly, not forever. During times of crisis, the supermarkets are stripped bare in a matter of hours. American used to stock food as part of their everyday preparations, but have since forgotten this time honored practice. Now, everyone rushes to the store to "stock up" when the news or events frighten them into doing so. Or worse, they wait until after a disaster and find out there's nothing left. This has happened countless times in America's history of regional disasters. Everything gets sold out and some merchants even take advantage of the crisis by jacking up prices sky high.

Don't be vulnerable, plan ahead. You simply never know when you're going to need to be ready."
