UN Agenda 21 at work to make life so expensive for the peasants that the give up and die.

Preppers’PING!!

A recent thread indicated that we should all get used to eating insects. Very affordable and “sustainable”.

[Black Agnes]

Gardening ping.

And to what extent are US government policies increasing prices, causing scarcities and driving up energy costs? A great deal and the Marxists running the US want higher prices which cause dependency and privation which force more people on public assistance and tightens government control.

How will the entitlement crowd pay for their food?

Same way they do now - we will.

[Organic Panic]

This is a great time to pass the affordable food act. Find every critter endangered and cut off water supplies to farmers. Use all corn crops for ethanol. Federal agents will be unleashed on ranchers and cull herds. Obamafood for all.

Drought: Feds cut water to Central Valley farmers to zero

Central Valley farmers took a crippling blow Friday when U.S. officials made the unprecedented announcement that they would get no irrigation water from the federal government this year because of the drought.

It’s already almost doubled since Obama became pResident.

No reason to think his p1ss-poor policies won’t continue to have a negative effect for another 4-5 years.

[jonrick46]

The Preppers are right. Time to stock up on those price inflated freeze dried meals. And, it’s time to ban the word “gourmet” from the food lexicon.

[scottteng]

So everyone should turn their yard into a garden starting today!

Hey, let’s burn (corn) food for energy instead of coal!

Ready For The Price Of Food To More Than Double By The End Of This Decade?

According to my grocery shopping bills, it already has doubled in the last ten years. I'm not surprised if it does again, given the idiotic policies being implemented by the boy king and his merry band of court jesters.

[BobL]

Thankfully this doesn’t affect me, since food is no longer included in the CPI.

[I am Richard Brandon]

No Problemo! I will live off the interest on my savings. Oh! Wait - there is zero % interest. No problemo the rate will double as well. Zero times two equals “No it won’t”.

[WilliamofCarmichael]

I remember when a loaf of name-brand bread was $0.25 -- I believe however that the average salary was less than $3,000/year.

So in another few years bread will be $30 / $40 a loaf and the average salary will be.. still what it is today! If the people who like that open-border, taxpayer-subsidized, cheap labor have their way.

Well, the feds are on it. First, we'll use a large percentage of the corn crop as a lousy substitute for gasoline. Then we'll put ranchers out of business since solar panels generate so much more in profits for the DC crowd than beef ever could. And gee-gosh, how about taking that raised in the USA chicken and send it to China so it can be properly poisoned while being processed? And how about having invaders at slave wages pollute the very crops they're underpaid to grow? And just in case there's still enough food to feed everyone, destabilizing the whole world so people who used to mostly feed themselves now need handouts should put a real dent in the bottom 99% of the world's population.

Double food prices? We'll, let 'em eat half as much! We peons just don't understand, do we?

Grandpa sez:

I used to take two dollars to the store and come back with a loaf of bread, baking potatoes, salad makings, and steaks for dinner.

But now they got all those darned cameras in the store.

There's plenty of food out there and it's been underpriced for quite a while now. As a result, we are now the most obese civilization that ever walked the Earth.

Think of this as not spending twice as much for your food so much as only eating half of what you have become used to eating. In that case, you will spend the same amount for your food and you will be able to climb a flight of stairs without huffing and puffing.
