you know i think they really are trying to make us need them to make it
we do not
By whatever means, they are trying to make us DEPENDENT on them. One example of the lengths they will go to deceive in order to lull people into a stupor instead of preparing is:
" The USDA forecasts a 2 percent to 3 percent hike in the cost of all foods in 2011. Higher corn and soybean prices are the main force behind the increase. Remember, farm animals have to be fed and when those costs go up, so does what you pay. Expect a big spike in the dairy case and meat counter, where pork alone is forecast to rise between 3 percent and 4 percent."
This is one I think is absolutely nutz. We are going to see at least 30% increases overall. Or, more correctly, we are going to see at least 30% inflation. Probably much more on food (which they eliminate from the CPI).
What alternative universe do these people live in? (really, I hate to suggest conspiracy) Corn that we were burning in pellet stoves two years ago because it was about $2 a bushel now goes for more than $7 - soybeans have more than doubled. Mandates are trying to double the amount of corn alcohol added to gasoline.(now what to you think that does to price?) Nations around the world are in a panic over grain shortages, stockpiles of grains are shrinking below levels of 30 years ago while population is 40% greater than it was then.
My suggestion - grow all the food you can - preserve it - use it regularly - prepare to do it again! Don't worry if you save too much - there may be lots of hungry people to help you keep it from going to waste.
I don't think you will be sorry.
No. We do not! :)
