We’re seeing some strange things in modern society and all signs point to the fact that famine is coming. Within the US, drought on the plains is making is so that winter wheat can’t grow while up in North Dakota there’s so much water that farmers’ fields are too waterlogged for anybody to do any planting. I have my suspicions.
American farmers that are able to get out into the field are having a hard time finding critical components they need to their machinery.
Two children were just hospitalized due to a lack of infant formula within America. When have you ever heard of that happening before?
We’ve witnessed a lot of talk about smallpox pandemics over the course of the past two years, Germany is now gearing up for another wonderful “simulation” wargaming a pox pandemic originating from leopards, and now, monkeypox is popping up throughout the world. As of this writing, there are 9 cases in the UK, possibly 21 in Portugal, 23 suspected in Spain, 13 suspected in Canada, and 1 in the United States. The initial reports all stated that this was from an infected man flying back from Nigeria on a commercial plane.
Monkeypox isn’t something I’m terribly concerned about as of yet. I am having a hard time finding the R0 of monkeypox (the number of new people infected on average from a single case) It’s just something I’m keeping my eyes on. What I am concerned about is the public health response.

i think you’re right. I have lard in freezer, but i need to learn to pressure can lard.
When I was a kid Chicago had the biggest snowstorm it had ever had and after about a week the whole neighborhood ran out of food.
All the dads took orders from the elderly in our neighborhood, shoveled a path out. Took their kids sleds and got us food.
We became major food hoarders.
My mechanic needed 2 days then get ahold of front rotors for an 02 f350 superduty a few weeks ago.
Scares the hell outta me. I run crews in urban areas at night. Gives me the shivers.
Fixin to quit.
“There is no famine coming to America.
The Middle East and North Korea? Maybe.”
That would be true if we weren’t in a crazy country that sends its baby formula to feed illegal aliens while our own mothers can’t find it in the stores. What do you think they will do with OUR food? I think it’s very possible they will send that away, too.
Oh, they’re prepared all right. They know where all the super markets are.
I read that in WW2 the federales confiscated food stores.”””
They might have gotten away with that during an existential war, and possibly there was something special about who that was and what they were doing, but I wouldn’t recommend they try it now after their own evil or just plain stupidity brought about the crisis in the first place.
“Which saturated fat are you talking about?”
Any. But coconut oil is good, ghee is good, tallow is good.
Avoid corn, soy, etc. They go rancid on the shelf, and they go rancid in your cells.
I’m about to try it myself.
Remember the Amish !
Some of us went through very lean times way back when. We learned collecting and scrapping metals, broke up many a cast iron radiator in the day, scrapping cars, collecting copper in wire. Cashed it in for food money. Some of had access to foods. Drove trucks where the occasional box of hamburgers wouldn’t be missed or knew when the Mrs. Smith’s pies would be delivered and left outside the stores. We were scraping by but we got through it. And yes, those were the Carter years.
Perhaps, perhaps not.
If it does, though, you can be sure it’ll have been manufactured by the government.
Food? What food?
Grow nut trees on your property.
I have a couple cans of Berio olive oil.
In the metal can, it’s hermetically sealed and protected from light.
Store it in a very cool place, or even outside in the winter, and it will keep longer.

I have been at the walmart checkout behind Hipanics who have two or three carts. When it comes time to pay, they pull out a stack of snap cards from different states and keep on using them until they get to where they need to pay cash for the things not covered.
See: baby formula given to illegals.
THEY will get plenty to eat free while Americans starve
Sounds like my deceased Brother-ion-law’s family back then. They ran a large West Texas ranch and put up lots of food for the winter.
During the War years, someone claimed they were hoarding food and the government came out and confiscated every bit of home canned produce they had.
How did they survive? They had a second cellar out in the hills the agents did not know about.
No Hard Times
I got a barrel of flour Lord I got a bucket of lard

I’m gonna hitch up my mule and take a holt of my line
I’m gonna hitch up my mule and take a holt of my line
I can’t be bothered with all those old hard times
We learned to keep extra supplies in winter out on the High Plains, also in the Ozarks.
We had a massive ice storm here several years back. No one went anywhere and only ONE radio station was still on the air. Without electricity for about three or four days.
We still had plenty of food as we were eating up lots of the thawing food.
