A Wall Street Journal columnist has advised people to "start stockpiling food" and an ABC News Report says "there are worrying signs appearing in the United States where some … locals are beginning to hoard supplies." Now there's concern that the U.S. government may be competing with consumers for stocks of storable food.
"We're told that the feds bought the entire container of canned butter when it hit the California docks. (Something's up!)," said officials at Best Prices Storable Foods in an advisory to customers.
Spokesman Bruce Hopkins told WND he also has had trouble obtaining No. 10 cans of various products from one of the world's larger suppliers of food stores, Oregon Freeze Dry.

It wasn’t all that long ago that the government was stock piling cheese, just so it could all be given away. Now they want butter?

Is Survivalism for crazy people?
Just curious what Freepers think.

Most Americans are storing at least a year’s worth of calories around their waist and hips. Of all things to try to hype concern about, this is the most ridiculous.

"....locals are beginning to hoard supplies." Fearing run-a-way inflation, some folks spending their "stimulus" checks on food?

survivalism, or just buying in bulk to save money?
i think building a bunker stocked with MRE's is a little over the top right now when you can go to the corner store and buy whatever you want.
but keeping a stocked pantry so you don't have to drive as much might be smart.

I used to work with a guy who was a survivalist. He kept months worth of food and water at his house and camp in the mountains. I didn't think that was all that crazy, but he also saved all the Kleenex after he would use it to blow his nose, on the reference table next to his desk. The pile of Kleenex got pretty large until the day he was laid off. He bagged it and brought it home. He was also into Star Trek, and had a Spock haircut as well as the boots. Nothing weird about that either other than his being in his mid 50’s, back in the early 90’s.

Canned butter? Is there such thing as canned white bread?
Let us know if they start stocking up on PB&J and tuna fish.

I believe there is nothing wrong with being prepared.
Is that the same as Survivalism?
