Fox News host reacts to the president saying food shortages will be real on 'Tucker Carlson Tonight.' #FoxNews

We have a vegetable garden, an herb garden, some hens, and we tap our sugar maple tree for syrup. The hens eat whatever we throw away, and our grass clippings, fall leaves and deadfall get mulched or composted.
We also forage for mushrooms, hunt and fish when in season.
In a real food shortage, the big game (white-tail deer) would probably disappear in the first month, so I want to learn to trap and prepare small game - which should remain plentiful.
Right now we are far from self-sufficient, but it’s a start.
We have enough food.
How true! During the 1930s Depression the US produced so much food that meat was the cheapest thing to buy. Steak for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Problem was, so many could not find jobs and were unable to buy the cheap food.
So the FDR administration came up with a plan to raise the prices by culling the herds of livestock. They bought up tens of thousands of cattle, had them shot and buried them. And they refused to give the poor any of that meat.
One of the locals, who had to sell his livestock, told the government agent that within Ten Years, they would wish they had all that livestock back.
Ten years later that same agent who destroyed the herds was crying to the ranchers to increase beef production “for the war effort!”
Her is an article on just Nebraska. It happened all over the US.

***but if you are just starting to stock up on things now, you’re behind the curve. ***
How true! We learned this from our parents way back in the 1940s, 50s and 60s from living on the isolated High Plains and farms.
Butt hurt, you say?
You mean the sort of butt hurt that is expressed with excessive use of caps?
LOL!
Just proving again why my decision to ignore you continually was the right one.
Must of been products of inner city public schools, since it didn’t occur to them to simply open the box from the bottom.

Some can think outside the box, some can’t!
Most people who own a home have enough land to plant a small garden. You can learn which vegetables have the most success in your area and plant those. My neighbors growing up had a garden on a plot that was about 30’ x 20’ (maybe slightly bigger) and every summer they were giving away squash, zucchini, peas, green beans, sweet peppers, etc.
Neighbor has a couple of grandkids under 5. We are splitting the rental fee for a plot at the community garden this summer. Kids will love it and then there will be fresh produce too.
I grow a fair bit in my yard as well. Putting in Peas, lettuce, kale, cabbage, broccoli as soon as the snow breaks.
Good idea ever family should plant a garden it’s a win win deal.
Yup, many people will be resourceful like that. The victim mentality types will just want to screech about the problem, and get mad at those not joining in the screechers. They remind me of the race baiter perma grievance types.
You will have to excuse BiglyCommentary. He loves to stand up for the Biden agenda.
“Thank you and exactly!
When you support people solving the problem, offering solutions, some confuse that with you supporting those who caused the problems. Same issue with supporting the Ukrainian prople. Some who fail at basic logicical thinking will instantly pop out of nowhere and a accuse you of supporting Biden, Soros, ...”

Yes. It seems like a fine line between doing what is best for the country/society and best for our families. Our economy is basically debt driven so if we all got rid of our debt the economy would crash but it seems like the economy is capable of doing that on it’s own regardless of our personal debt. And if the economy crashes who is in better shape, the family that is debt free and has a supply of shelf stable food in the bunker or the family that eats out 5 nights a week and has a huge mortgage and boatloads of consumer debt?
I think we can do both, support the local entertainment and food industry and still maintain a family food budget. We, society pays way too much for entertainment, cable, cell phones and spectator sports and movies while ignoring what we should not that is having a something for retirement and funds for emergencies.
To your other point I don’t understand why some even here on FR are so quick to call people like me a liberal, I’m as conservative as it gets but not everything conservatives say makes the best sense.
Nah, just proving you are a butthurt weakling who can’t handle the fire.
Oh, you like to dish it out. I see you doing that all the time. But the slightest pushback and you fold like paper mache’.

“cheaper staples bought in bulk.”
and WAY healthier ... it just takes more time to cook, time which is in short supply if all the adults in a family have to work at low-wage jobs with long commutes and try to also take care of their children ...
LOLOL....that was my thought, as well.
What good are EBT cards/food stamps during national/global food shortage.
Every single Democrat politician either needs to be swinging from a lamp post or being made ready to be.
Everyone of them is a sell out to any foreign power.
I’m glad I’m in your head 24/7, so much so that I trigger you to pop out of your hole and call me names. Note: I NEVER THINK OF YOU, DON’T GIVE A FLYING BLEEP ABOUT WHAT YOU POST. An irrelevant ankle biter.
“and WAY healthier”
Americans can learn a lot from poorer countries and what they do as regards to food. They don’t have a lot of excess food budget dollars so have been forced to learn how to get the most nutrition out of each dollar.
Thanks for posting that vid.
That gal has quite the following, with her basic, commonsense advice.
I’m hearing it’s the people who vote for these idiots that will be hit the hardest? And for the illegal invasion, it is a step up?
