If our currency really fails, food will be money. Can you eat gold? It will be useless in a real diaster.

Mo nuy food first. But if you have still more wealth after stocking up, things like gold are dandy.

Food help you survive a crisis. Gold helps your WEALTH survive a crisis.

People blathering on with the “can you eat gold..” stuff.

OK, tell ya what. You walk in to one of the few stores that still have anything left. They have a couple cases of beef stew or whatever.

Some guy want to buy it and writes a check.
You show up with your credit card.
A third person walks in with a few small gold coins.

Guess who walks out with the food?
Hint:
It ain’t you...
