This display would make a really nice wall chart - it’s beautiful!
Rollerball !
A bit off topic; but a threatened strike against Red England food chain ‘Market Basket’ emptied the shelves in a matter of HOURS at many locations over the weekend...produce was impossible to find, except at competitors like Shaw’s and Hannaford’s. Taken in tandem with this; it shows how FRAGILE the food supply actually is...got garden? You’ll wish you did.
Big deal
Better that than Big Government being in charge of the food.
Big Government has an OVERWHELMING amount of power over EVERYTHING.
The people who would need the food (because they don’t plan for 24 hrs much less a long period time) don’t have a freakin clue how to grow it! They would probably do what they do best...steal it!
This article is neglecting the role of government in this..
How many U.S. citizens grew much of their food just 80 years ago?
Why don’t we do that now? Government intrusions/regulations egged on by these corporations???
He didn't propose how we do that when these corporations control almost 100% of what we need every week. I already buy store brands when I can and I don't see anyone breaking up their monopolies because of it.
Ummmmmmm follow the money trail from these companies to Washington. Basically, big gov is indeed in charge of the food
I prefer to raise and make and harvest a large percentage of what I eat.
The spaghetti sauce for tomorrow's supper came 100% out of my garden, Bambi's mom provided the meat.

nope- we`uns up n`jehre done live on the farm.
Hate to burst your bubble but almost all "store brands" are made in the exact same factories the brand name stuff is and usually is made up of exactly the same contents and placed in an identical can, they just put a different label on it.
I think this link might answer your question. I was overwhelmed just considering what these vendors have to go through, even in a cottage industry setting.
Sadly, the more centralized our food sources become the more dangerous they actually are.
No, no, no, the government neeeds to save us from the evil corps and you know that. Come on. S/
I have moral objections to 5 of these companies. If I look deeper, I’d probably have problems with them all.
“So the American people end up eating billions of pounds of extremely unhealthy food that is loaded with chemicals and additives each year, and we just keep getting sicker and sicker as a society. “
So the life expectancy is plummeting?
Well, then let us pray the Big Corporation food distributors will judiciously control the flow of foodstuffs to the market, to assure that only the more deserving get an adequate share, and the less deserving are forced to scrabble for whatever is left over.
Wait. Kinda ALWAYS been like that in despotic societies. Artificial scarcities are a great way to control the distribution channels through price.
Human beings have been known to subsist on eating grass along the roadside. Great, we won’t have to use those pollution-belching power mowers any more, will we?
Aye.
Big Gov Food-supply —> Holodomor
