Where I live farmers stuff every acre with crops. And they are just now harvesting the last of it for the fall. I don’t see ANY of them going bankrupt.

“ What would you do if you didn’t have any food to feed your family?”

Three deer passed through this morning. The 6 pointer would have kept my family feed for a few months.

Reviewing the headlines and the URL (endoftheamericandream), the site looks like a fear site to sell fear items.

Instead of spending my hard earn money on fear items like emergency food meals, I learn how to grow my own food this year.

I was successful with a garden this past spring and now I am growing food with hydroponics indoors. Currently growing enough salad to harvest 4 large dinner plates a week. I am also growing peppers and tomatoes indoors.

We also have deer and pigs here.

Learn to garden it can be fun and rewarding.

Current head is David Beasley, former SC governor. AFAICS, he has a reputation as a spendthrift RINO and obe of the reasons the WFP took him on was to try to fend off any funding cuts by Trump.

This is the worst the UN could come up with:

They must be joking. This is undernourished:

Thanks to the green revolution, famine is an artifact of history, except for in Marxist dictatorships. The food surplus is such that the danger has shifted to obesity. There is no country where the body mass index average is lower than the middle of what is defined as healthy, and plenty where it's well above average. The nowhere-near-malnourished stats include all of sub-Saharan Africa.

Exactly. NO one has a right to deny you sustenance. Natural Law.

Whitmer is psycho. There is no doubt. A deep state slut.

I talked to the PepsiCo stocker at the local big-chain grocer, and said, where goeth real sugar Pepsi (which I detest with all soft drinks, but my family cannot abide without) and he laid down the tracks: “ALUMINUM SHORTAGE”.
Whoa.

Yeah because glass and plastic are in such short supply! Aluminum is the most abundant resource on earth, next to lead.

I believe it is not an Aluminum shortage, but rather, a shortage of aluminum can manufacturing. Can producers are running all out, but with few people eating in restaurants and consuming fountain drinks, they are eating more at home and consuming significantly more beverages from aluminum cans. At least that is what I have read and understand.

The NWO needs to be destroyed. There is no need for food shortages. God continues to provide as long as Satan is rejected.

ALUMINUM SHORTAGE

My local liquor / beverage store guy told me the same thing. Cant get the aluminum bottles of Bud and Bud Light as InBev is shifting priorities to regular cans and Coca-Cola stopped canning Fresca and Fanta to allocate supplies to it's better selling products.

I have posted this before.

At one time we had a 3 years reserve of grain. Now if we don’t use the last bushel of old crop the day before the new crop came in we screwed up.

Anyone feel secure?

How did this happen? The insurance lobbies were better than the grain bin lobbies.....................

China will find themselves in a real bind regarding food - their storage facilities are full of rotten and damaged grains, much of which has been stolen or redistributed. Provincial government managers do not dare tell the truth, or they lose their cushy jobs. The floods and droughts in China, combined with locusts and swine flu have decimated food supply chains. Biblical proportions for their shortages possibly, can’t say as though I actually give a damn.

Since the green revolution, food shortages only occur in autarkies that either lack the foreign exchange to import food (North Korea pretty much since its creation) or disdain either imports or food aid for ideological reasons (North Korea, Cambodia under Pol Pot and China under Mao). Since China is currently a capitalist country (albeit run by dictators) that produces a large trade surplus (i.e. has plenty of foreign exchange), it has no issues with simply importing food. In the worst case, it's unlikely that it would reject food aid.

I like the rotisserie chicken at Walmart but lately they haven’t had them or only had a few. I asked and the lady said they haven’t been getting their shipments in like usual so it may be a fluke or there may be something to this. I dunno.

Speaking for Panama, where I live, the hunger crisis is directly related to the COVID lockdowns. People can’t work so they’re not earning money so they can’t feed themselves. Government is using the threats of rioting as an excuse not to hand out food to the poor.

Our missionaries are helping to fill the gap within the province of Chiriqui but they can only provide at a sustenance level. It’s mostly rice and beans because they store easily and can be cooked to any amount you wish.

However, I don’t see an apocalypse coming as long as the lockdowns are stopped and the economy bounces back. It will soon be coffee harvesting season here, which is the biggest employer of poor and indigent people. They come to the fincas to pick the coffee beans, whole families sometimes.

That’s the local answer. Other countries, particularly Venezuela, I presume the situation is different.

Interesting, my grocer said the same thing about Coke products. Of course they have an endless supply of the store brand soda...

Probably not, but if there is a worldwide drought, or other catastrophic crop failure, how long would it be, before famine set in? I’m not a prepper, but only God knows the future.
