Freeze dried foods I see are pretty expensive. I guess if you are starving to death it is pretty nice to have, but if America goes hungry for this long of a period , I would think civil conflict and anarchy may ensue and you may be getting your food from a gun , anyway. We are not the agrarian , more unified society we were back in the 1930s. People don't politely say , "Hey brother you got a dime"? We have a much different demographic, heavily armed gangs, looters, rioters, illegal immigrants/drug cartels (who will also be out of work) who may resort to banditry. This was pretty common in Africa and other impoverished countries with large number of armed gangs. Will we have enough "well-fed" law enforcement around to help keep such banditry and lawlessness in check?
I watched the whole vid. Good knowledge. I had a pretty good knowledge of all this.

I do think if we start experiencing hunger living in cities will be scary. Look what happened in India.. Many people fled the cities and returned to their villages for the first time in decades. The cities in India have lost significant population and this is because people knew they could starve to death there. In their villages they farm , raise animals and have some local food supply. In India right now, in the cities people are fighting each other over food and their have been some food riots. Look whats happening in Nairobi, Kenya (one of Africa's more well-to-do cities) right now..

The world has never faced a hunger emergency like this, experts say. It could double the number of people facing acute hunger to 265 million by the end of this year.www.nytimes.com
On the prepping notes.. I definitely don't have a 10 year supply of freeze dried food
Supposedly I am reading pasta can last about 4 years and retain nutrients.. I actually eat a special kind of wheat ( a couple different heirloom types) that doesn't produce all the gluten intolerance issues of cheaper Durum and has more protein and minerals.
I am also looking at stocking up on Grass fed whey protein concentrates (also freeze dried) , Wheatgrass juice powders (they are freeze dried , last a long time and has more nutrients than most vegetables you eat in store, including Vitamin K2), as well as just beans , canned beans (which supposedly last 4-5 years) and black rice. The antioxidants in black forbidden rice actually preserve it longer than brown rice which goes rancid because of its oils. Problem with Black rice is it is grown in China, I do get organic kind. I am stocking up on lentils and other things as well.. Buying a mix of canned and dried food. I am reading canned food can last quite a long time. Everything I get is organic and BPA free..
I know I was pretty unprepared compaerd to some.. I should have a 1-2 year food supply, although I am probaly going to be homeless and living in my car (looking at getting a truck to live in) since I am losing my job, made some bad financial planning (tiny savings ,but no debt) and may not be able to get a loan I am depending on and find a cheap enough place to live. So, I will have to think of places to store my food and guns while I rough it being homeless for a while too..
Tough times.
