“I have pity for those that will, as in the days of Noah, eat and drink until it’s too late, rather than prepare. My two cents.’
Preparation is always good. I have been preparing for over 40 years, and I believe that food is unlikely to be a major problem in the United States, unless shortages are politically caused and promoted to do it here. We produce huge surpluses of food that we sell all over the world, as does Canada.
Food shortages in much of the third world - very likely - and very nasty. Most of those are now caused by political situations where a nasty dictator or political party is using starvation as a weapon against people they dislike.
That is what we need to guard against here in the U.S.

Agreed. There is almost always food available somewhere, it’s just at what price. Growing one’s own food helps as a buffer against commercial shortages which is part of why I garden. My dad forced me, against my will as a kid, to stick it out gardening in the Las Vegas Desert, teaching me how to grow a garden and enjoy the fruits of ones labor in even one of the harshest environments. I’ve recently learned of permaculture and despite it’s environmentalism nutjobs, I think it’s a great breakthrough in small scale farming.
What we need to worry about in the U.S. not just the catastrophes, but the parties which would enslave us through the use of (or lack of) food.
