Any concerns about food shortages?

[Diamondback]

Yes. I raise pigeons. Excellent source of protein. They fly out and eat, and they come home and feed me. Of course I feed them a little bit too, but they mainly forage for themselves. They kept many a Russian peasant alive during the revolution. Ancient Rome is another example how this so-called "flying rat" fed the masses

And squab, a form of pigeon, is STILL a staple food in much of North Africa IIRC.

And pretty tasty! But squab just means baby pigeon, like veal. Not a particular species.

A guy who used to work for me married a vietnamese girl. She'd spend 2-3 days a week trapping pigeons for dinner. He couldnt deal with the cultural differences and let her go after her 2 year enlistment.

It's amazing what a little starvation will do to the stability of a government.

We have two 'real things' left only. A printing press and a bloated military around the globe. We pretty much gave up on education, innovation, and anything of substance. We are a dying empire. Most simply will not accept that fact. In the next few years the fear campaigns will be compounded, including grid shutdowns, where the populace will bend the knee to every demand and that will include no more 2A. Agenda 21 was no joke and 2030 will be a point of great change and 'resetting.'

The following video is not political. It is just the truth about how nations and empires rise and fall. The old saying is - All empires fail, but not ours, I'm pretty much sure ours will last forever ........... mental preparation for what is coming is critical.
Trusting in banks/gov to save you is a huge fail for sure.

I was ranting to my wife about our food supply being outsourced, she usually rolls her eyes (as most Americans do, it's inconvenient to consider the outcome) but even she agreed that we're pretty much just a shell of a nation and that outsourcing our food manufacturing is a sign of bad things to come.

We won't have to worry about starving at all. Crickets! and other bugs are set to be farmed in Canada in the coming weeks by the billions. Yummy! Already the corp media is doing its part to scare the gullible away from any real, healthy foods.

I'm worried about this because I eat my meat straight out of the freezer. I hate to waste time with thawing or cooking.

Now matter how bad things are they can always be a lot worse.

I remember Chinese apples 10 years ago.

They were in EVERYTHING apple.
Tree Top bottled juice, China
Frozen concentrate, China
Applesauce, China

Heck, it's pretty common to see fruit cups from China.

There's absolutely no reason to globalize our food chain, unless it's for ethnic products.

Too many farms get shut down.

I eat the Chicom apples when my melamine levels get low

At 1.8 A.U. away from Earth, I'm not worried

Especially since it's already passed by us on its way around the sun. It'll be even further than 1.8 AU from us on its outbound journey.

 

[Knebel]

Yes. But because of inflation... I was able to feed 5 people on less than $100 a week. Now 200$ is barely 3 meals. So yes I am concerned about food shortage lol

 

[titsonritz]

Not to worry, there's plenty to go around...

 

[Burt Gummer]

Since I'm not a foodie, maybe they won't be so bad.

A question has been bugging me about posts like this: how is that any different than eating crab, shrimp, or lobster?

I don't know, why don't you try some and tell us what the difference is?

Personally, I like Dungeness crab, and shrimp in general, but lobster seems bland to me.

I am guessing, but I don't think bugs would be anywhere near as tasty
