20 Facts About the Emerging Global Food Shortage That Should Chill You to the Core
uncanceled news ^ | April 3, 2022 | Michael Snyder

Posted on 04/03/2022 5:23:27 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

A very alarming global food shortage has already begun, and it is only going to get worse in the months ahead.  I realize that this is not good news, but I would encourage you to share the information in this article with everyone that you can.  People deserve to understand what is happening, and they deserve an opportunity to get prepared.  The pace at which things are changing around the globe right now is absolutely breathtaking, but most people assume that life will just continue to carry on as it normally does.  Unfortunately, the truth is that a very real planetary emergency is developing right in front of our eyes.  The following are 20 facts about the emerging global food shortage that should chill you to the core…

#1 One of France’s most important government officials is telling us that we should brace ourselves for an “extremely serious” global food crisis…

France’s Foreign Affairs Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said the EU must get to grips with the prospect that the war in Ukraine could prompt an “extremely serious” global food crisis.

#2 Joe Biden recently admitted that food shortages are “going to be real”, and his administration is now openly using the word “famine” to describe what is coming…

The Biden administration is worried Russia’s invasion of Ukraine will cause famine in parts of the world, White House Council of Economic Advisers Chair Cecilia Rouse told CNBC on Friday.

#3 It is being reported that food prices at German supermarkets will soon go up between 20 and 50 percent

has Dr. Fauci been doing a "gain of function" on bird flu diseases? You know I’ve been wondering whether another hostile country, read China, May be responsible for this and an attack on our food supply.

Famine
Plague
War

History shows that when any one of the above occurs, the other two follow closely behind.

...that is all

That’s just it, price. Sure in the US we have enough food for now. However I retired and am on a fixed income from my 31.5 yrs. career.

I was stupid and picked education so my income is limited, adequate so far. Food is sold abroad, so when we start selling and giving it away our prices will go up, that will hurt people like me.

Just a Scary trivia for you all. In the very, very severe Irish potato famine food was still being EXPORTED out of Ireland. Boggles the mind but the successful farmer didn’t want to give it all away and the starving Irish were poor so they sold it. During the same time our good old British cousins were sending free food to some of their Caribbean Islands which were experiencing mild famine but not much to the Irish. The Brits screwed the Irish…hard.

Not long before Wellington saved the British Empire at Waterloo. Up to 1/3 of his troops were Irish and just a few decades later they were letting them starve. Let that sink in for a moment.

Yes,

I don’t need to read such websites to know and understand that food shortages are already here.

I purchased a second pantry to store canned and packaged foods. Also have for years a freezer in the garage that is filled with frozen, packaged ready to eat meals.

I always shop weekly to keep my supplies up.

Many empty food shelve slots at my local Walmart, but no shortage of average size clothes.

That's funny right there, I don't care who you are.

Even with yields down, we can still produce enough to feed this country especially if we stop using corn as a gasoline additive. As to the rest of the world, sorry about that.

YUM, YUM!

Insects - the new superfood!

Remember that book How to Eat Fried Worms? A kid dares the main character, Billy, to eat 15 worms in 15 days. Billy does it, and he ends up liking it. Most of you are probably thinking gross!

But maybe Billy was on to something. Studies are saying that eating insects could be good for you and the planet. True, a worm isn’t an insect, but the thought of eating one may make you shiver just as much as the thought of eating a plate of fried crickets.

So why are insects - the farmed kind, not ones you’d pluck out of the ground - great to eat?
Health benefits

Insects are a great source of protein and minerals, such as iron, zinc and magnesium. For example: if you eat two silkmoth larvae, you’ll get 10 times more iron than if you eat 100 grams of beef. Also, 100 grams of insects (crickets, beetles, red ants and grasshoppers) contains almost the same amount of protein as meat, but with less fat and fewer calories. Insects can also be good for your immune system. They include a protein called chitin that encourages healthy bacteria to grow in your stomach.

Environmentally friendly

According to a 2013 study by the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization, eating insects may help Earth. Farming insects takes up a lot less space than raising cows or pigs. Fewer animal farms mean less land is used - and forests cleared - to grow our food. Insect farms also produce less greenhouse gasses than animal farms.

Who’s eating insects?

Insects are being gobbled up by 80% of the world’s population, specifically by people in Asia, Africa and Latin America. They’re eating over 1,900 different types of insects. In order of popularity:

MOST POPULAR: beetles and caterpillars
NEXT POPULAR: wasps, grasshoppers, locusts, crickets and ants
LEAST POPULAR: termites and flies

Eating insects is not so popular in Canada. Why? Insects aren’t a regular part of our diet, so many people think the idea is a little disgusting. However, crickets may change their minds.

Crazy for crickets

Many of us can’t imagine popping a cricket into our mouths as an afterschool snack. But would you eat a muffin made with cricket flour? Or how about a protein bar? There are up to 25 crickets in one protein bar. And those muffins? You’d never know they contained crickets because they’ve been ground to a fine powder and mixed with regular flour, butter, eggs and other ingredients.

For now, cricket flour is more expensive to buy than all-purpose or whole wheat flour. It’s because it takes so much work to raise the crickets and process them. But all that is changing as more companies use and share new ways to farm insects. A couple of years ago, only seven or eight companies farmed crickets. Today, more than 30 exist.
Did You Know?

Entomophagy is the human consumption of insects as food.

The great reset has been openly discussed by those planning and executing it.

You have thank it to the global-fascists; they are quite open about telling you what they are going to do to you. In this case, engineered famine in the manner of 1930's Ukraine, and on a scale few people really appreciate.

Starving Dog Eats Dead Owner

Medical Examiner: Human Tissue Found in Dog Feces

by Naja and Arnaud Girard…….

It was 6 months ago. A local liveaboard boater had made an emergency call to the U.S. Coast Guard in Key West, reporting the gruesome discovery of a man dead inside his sailboat.

The scene was not for the faint of heart. The body had been decomposing for days and a severed limb was found on the cockpit floor.

Left open was the question of cause of death. Speculation ran wild – fanned by the understandable concerns and fears of neighbors. [There are some 200 people living on boats in Key West harbor.]

[responsive_youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSMRqwfNqTA&feature=youtu.be]

The Blue Paper obtained a copy of the medical examiner’s report.

Jason Atkins was found lying inside his boat. According to Monroe County Medical Examiner Tom Weaver, he’d been dead for nearly 5 days. He was found still clutching a syringe in his right hand. Reportedly the remaining liquid in the syringe tested positive for morphine.

Further testing led the medical examiner to conclude the cause of death was an accidental drug overdose.

But what about the severed arm?

A dog was found alive on the boat. The medical examiner found human tissue in the dog’s feces. It is assumed that the dog, left on the boat with nothing to eat for more than 4 days, tore his owner’s arm off and began eating it.

From the medical examiner’s report:

“SUMMARY:

The deceased is a 39-year-old male, who was found on 06/11/2015 at 08:30 hours on his boat anchored off of Key West. The deceased was found clasping a syringe in his right hand. The left hand was severed from the body and present in the cockpit portion of the boat. However, a dog was removed from the boat and dog feces collected on the boat contained human tissue. Postmortem toxicological analysis of muscle tissue reports morphine=104 ng/g and oxycodone=40.2 ng/g. Morphine was also noted in the urine without the presence of acetylmorphine. Therefore based upon the information available to me at this time it is my opinion that the cause of death is best certified as acute combined drug intoxication with the manner of death classified as accident.”

— Thomas Beaver, Monroe County Medical Examiner

The Huffington Post reported in 2011, about 7 dogs that had survived for more than two weeks by eating their dead owners. This raised a question as to whether dogs, who had broken such a taboo, could be trusted; whether they could be offered for adoption or whether they should be put to death. What about the safety of little children, argued some residents. It took two months for the local (Saskatoon, Canada) SPCA to decide it was safe to put the dogs up for adoption.

In Key West, Jason Atkin’s dog was adopted immediately. It has been reported to The Blue Paper that he is very loving and affectionate. He is now living on another boat with a local fisherman who calls him “man’s best friend.”

———–

(Note: In the original version of this article the precise setting for the linked Huffington Post story (Saskatoon, Canada) was not specified.

Several readers reportedly called the Florida Keys SPCA upset that a pitbull that had eaten human remains had been adopted out while others were upset that it had been done immediately when it had taken up to two months to decide in a previous case.

For clarification: Neither the FKSPCA nor any other local agency was involved in the adoption of the Key West dog in this story.

We've already seen that in ground beef alone. Bacon is priced up 100%, and I could go on.

#14 On Friday, it was announced that another 5 million egg-laying chickens in Iowa would have to be put down because of the bird flu.

#15 The death toll from the bird flu in Iowa alone will be pushed beyond 13 million as a result of this latest incident.

#16 Overall, this is what the total national death toll from the bird flu currently looks like: “22 million egg-laying chickens, 1.8 million broiler chickens, 1.9 million pullet and other commercial chickens, and 1.9 million turkeys”.

That's actually just one thing
