You don’t seem to understand. In places such a Costa Rica, food grows wild, nearly everywhere, right up to the ocean. There is no need to steal food in the countryside with such a small population & wealth of free food. Why risk stealing when you can gather your food for free?
I’m not saying you would eat like a king, but you wouldn’t starve. In the USA, many people will starve within a month of the grocery stores closing. Many more will not survive a winter.
So, live in Costa Rica.

3 1/2 years is what you have to go, and the only way to do that is to give yourself to Yehovah completely, and not trust in men for anything.

I live in a relatively large suburb near cleveland. However, within a mile are at least 4 moderate size parks/reserves. In each of these reserves there are critters and natural vegetation that can be consumed.
One example which is prevelant and most people wouldn’t think twice of are cattails. You can eat the tubers similar to yams or potatoes; the new shoots, simlar to bamboo; or the seed pod, when it’s green like corn on the cob.
Are these foods for comfort - no; but they will allow you to survive and subsist IF absolutely nothing else is available.
But I don’t disagree that many people in the US may starve either because they don’t know, ignorance, or they think it is beneath them, spoiled to the point of stupid.
I noticed that in Panama and Puerto Rico, when I was deployed there. Food seemed to grow everywhere. I suppose you could make a list but certainly plantains and bananas were all over the place.
