Is this from the desk of Michelle Obama? Say hello to Weimar Germany or Argentina! Stock up on beans, rice, coffee, canned goods, freeze-dried and preserved foods, as well as ammunition and silver.

Food is the next gold. Pretty soon we’ll be hearing Gordon Liddy saying “Now that’s the sound of food!”.

[ConjunctionJunction]

Obama’s fault.

Stick with chicken. At the start of the year, the USDA said it expected beef prices would rise 4.5 percent to 5.5 percent this year. The new forecast is for a price jump of 7 percent to 8 percent. And it’s not like you haven’t already been paying up, as beef prices are already 12.2 percent higher than they were a year ago. If you’ve got a yen for pork, that’s going to cost you more as well. The USDA has changed its 2011 forecast of a 6 percent price hike for pork to a new expected range of 6.5 percent to 7 percent. Over the past 12 months, pork prices have already increased 11.2 percent.

And fish are running now.

The season’s right for a veggie garden:...

You are right about this being out of Moochele's master plan. They even talked about steaming you chicken instead of frying. WTF. They can cram it. I am surprised this lib hack didn't bring up dumpster diving to cut down on waste to the land fill.

I, for one, shall stop eating just to prove a point. ;-)

Food Prices Headed Higher: What You Can Do?

"Alferd Packer, you voracious, man-eating, son-of-a-bitch. There were seven Democrats in Hinsdale County, and you ate five of them." ..... Allegedly said by District Court Judge Melville upon sentencing

[zwerni]

But there’s no inflation... if you don’t count food and energy... and anything else you may buy...

[DMG2FUN]

“What You Can Do”?
Bring fuel cost down! Allow oil companies to build newer refineries. Cleaner more modern. But the leftist aka progressive treehuggers will not allow this.

[Grunthor]

I like chicken. I like turkey. I am raising both right now. Buying a milk cow and a bull calf this summer. Butcher that calf in about 18 months. In the meantime a friend going through a divorce is giving us an upright freezer for free so I might as well put a quarter beef and half pig from the butcher shop into it. It’ll set us back a bit in the short term but if these prices continue higher....it will be well worth it.

Stick with chicken

We were never stuck on chicken. Chicken lay our eggs anyway. Why eat them?

We are being indoctrinated about inappropriate food. Since political correctness was such a success for the Liberals believe they can restrict freedom diet with out passing a single law.

[Persevero]

I already announced months ago to the fam that we’d be eating a lot more chicken and pork.

The beef is getting really “bounce-y” anyway, and I am talking Costco beef, which is supposed to be decent quality. Old recipes (swiss steak, roast beef, beef stroganoff) are not making the meat very tender anymore. It’s just plain tough.

Also, I don’t pre-plan what veg to serve with dinner. I wait until I get to the store and get what is on sale. For example we had broccoli (79 cents a pound) instead of zuchini (2.99 a pound!) tonight.

[JohnKinAK]

Like every other Banana Republic.......rice and beans con pollo for the lowly Proles. Telling that the Ministry of Truth gave the story the Regime’s official stamp of approval.

[goodnesswins]

Gee..wonder what our obomba voting “friends” say NOW...I told them in Nov 2008 that I was stocking up, and I’m sure they thought I was crazy....not speaking anymore...I think they are now mad and don’t want to admit their idiocy (they are retired.)

[Bean Counter]

Lessee....

I have five different kinds of potatoes coming up right now.

I planted broccoli, 2 kinds of cabbage, 2 kinds of cauliflower and a bunch of herbs today.

In the coming week I hope to get peppers, tomatoes and some melons in, and when the weather really warms, all of my summer squash. My radishes, carrots, peas, onions, spinach, collards and mustard greens are all up and thriving.

In the meantime we continue to average 5 eggs a day so far this month with a total approaching 600 eggs so far this year...

Lots one can do...

[pallis]

I’m pretty lucky at drawing elk hunts, and I hear Governor Martinez is going to make sure more draws go to in state applicants, so maybe my freezer will be stuffed with elk. Some cat fish, tuna fish and chicken can augment that. I just pray that people can hold out until we get the austerity facilitators are out of office.

[TheBattman]

Our state Game and Fish commission voted to raise the whitetail deer limit from 5 to 6 for the next season (beginning in September). If food prices continue their current trend, I can see myself being somewhat less selective in the deer I choose to harvest while hunting...

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Chicken and pork are still pretty cheap, in a word:

Bob-O-Que!
