As Russia’s war in Ukraine continues, and supply-chain disruptions and production shortfalls threaten the flow of crops around the world, Americans are significantly concerned about global food security. According to a new Harris Poll commissioned by Bayer, a majority of Americans are concerned about food shortages (71%) and "food deserts," or regions of the country where people have limited access to nutritious and affordable food (69%). The poll of 2,010 adults, conducted in June of this year, was commissioned in an effort to chart the sentiment of Americans on food security at this historic time.

I'm just thinking long range here about what might happen if the "great reset" actually leads to a great collapse? If Americans living in the big cities are at each others' throats today, with all systems functioning, what will happen if those civilizational foundations are completely removed?
Government can "print" from the thin-air as much digital EBT money as they desire, but they cannot magically print food, clean water, electricity, gasoline, diesel, home eating oil etc. and distribute it to cities.
The capital city of Mississippi can't provide safe drinking water to its population. This is just a pin-prick compared to what might be around the corner. Safe water for cities doesn't "just happen," much as we take it for granted. Is Jackson a harbinger of the future, or a rare outlier?
There are words in English like “hunger”, “starving”, etc...but we have to make up and use stupid phrases like “food security” and “food deserts”. Anyway, the definition of “food security” is so broad that anyone on any day can be included in the statistic which proves the term nothing but wokist propaganda.
Water is a big concern. I am less than 4 miles from lake michigan
This is why I buy from Patriot supply. Emergency food storage that lasts for 25 years. I do not trust the Biden occupation at all. I would not put it by these domestic enemies to deliberately cause a food shortage just to make the population bow to them.
How does the Lake MI water arrive at your tap?
I think it’s critical to understand every step and every mile of that process.
I would peddle my bicycle there, fill my 5 gallon plastic jug, peddle home.
I have that also.
And, i have near neighbors who own no firearms or ammunition. I call them an early warning system, and supply source. Food, clothing, etc. They are expendable.
If you're on speaking terms, encourage them to stock up on food, water and medicinal's. You can thank them later.
I’m interested in how you ascertain whether your neighbors have access to weapons or not.
Do you talk to them about your guns?
All of the “sale” prices at the local Safeway are now higher than the regular prices just a few months ago.
Democrat political signs, one is from chicago. The others talk about themselves, i volunteer no info about myself. Smile and nod.
We are speaking. I listen a lot, tell little.
Still buying in bulk online (emphatically NOT from Patriot Supply) at prices not much higher than last year. If TSHTF I’ll be more concerned with my meds.
Am I concerned? Sure, but I’ve always been concerned.
Our food problem has nothing to do with Ukraine. Until Americans can see that this Regime we have keeps that war going in Ukraine to use it at a reason for their deliberate destructive acts and collapse they are creating while setting up their Liberal World Order, we are doomed.
I always worry about my next meal.
If I am going to have to make or the wife is going to make it for me.
Or should I turn one the deer that walks through my yard every day into meat.
Not even near the point of asking my self if I am going to have to eat the cats and dog yet.
I am so screwed
