food rationing begins in the united states..

hate to say i told ya so,, but...

http://www2.nysun.com/article/74994?page_no=1

and yes,limiting the amount you can purchase on a non sale item is by definition rationing the amount your allowed to purchase..

get used to it folks,its gonna get A LOT WORSE!!

 

Yeah read it in another forum earlier... and don't really care... got enough food here to last six months and don't eat grain products much anyways...

 

what happens when the 6 months is up? you just going to quit eating??

btw,,where was the other thread? i just got home but my quick browse didnt see anything on it..

 

i'm not really all that torn up about it. i've been having trouble buying essentials because everything is so expensive. that's the part that worries me.

 

I'm not sure... I saw it somewhere in active threads earlier but I forget what forum.

Yeah I guess I'll just stop eating then. lol.

I figure there's not much I can do about it so why worry... I live in apt. and don't have the credit to get a house so I can't really grow food.. got enough for six months is something... and my husband said if worst comes to worst he'll just go up to his parents house and start hunting again. lol.

 

Skip and Fed both started their own in the politics forums Bill
But I like you better anyway haha

 

Yeah here is the one

shit... i had it copied but it's not there... but yeah it was started by skip. haha.

 

Now, I cant read the article, but my guess posed towards Skip which hasent been responded to yet, is this possibly because us shipping more than normal to other countries who need it? Or since the price of fuel has gone up (trust me, I work for a truck company, I see first hand everyday how much product must go up as a result, cant blame us either) have we actually stopped shipping our normal amount out, and are rather beginning to suffer on both sides?

 

there's a massive rice shortage. i don't eat rice much at all. makes me gassy.

 

i thought yall had tons of money put back,plenty of extra cash coming in etc.etc. you were hoping it would get bad so yall could play land baron as i recall. at least thats what ya said a month ago.. an now your getting worried?

im past worried. we have resolved ourselves to the fact the perfect storm is coming..

so far we have a years food back,a year and a half of bill money back,a healthy stockpile of fuel and extra parts for the tools around here.ive built a solar dehydrator,a solar oven and a milking stand for the goats.
we just acquired some rabbits for our meat supply so that means we are now raising goats,chickens and rabbits for meat..
we are growing our own grain this year so that will mean we grow all our food except for sugar coffee and salt..

all and all we are as ready as we can get..
worried? nahhh,,resolved.. yes...

 

we have huge amounts of money set aside. we're still saving the same amount of money, which means that the money we have to spend instead of save and invest doesn't go as far when most of it is going to huge grocery bills.

I don't believe this for a second.

 

just keep hitting refresh,it will load..

as far as the reasons for the shortages and this years outlook etc.

this spells it all out.

in a nutshell we are 1 failed harvest away from a global catastrophe..

to the people who say they dont eat much soy,grain or rice..

read the ingredients of what you eat on a daily basis.. i would say unless your a fruititarian or a strict vegan you eat more wheat soy and rice products than you realize...

 

well, we mostly eat elk meat, beans, fruits and veggies, cheese and milk. i can see where the loss in feed would DEFINITELY cause us some trouble. my kids can't be without their dairy. mainly the processed foods we do eat are convenience foods for the kids. that gets expensive. but convenience is so damned convenient.

 

Thank you friend

 

your in Thailand surely your aware of how bad the shortages really are???
if not,your living under a rock...

 

what the fda has to say about this food rationing......

crappie,, im glad you find it amusing.. go ahead keep your blinders on. fair warning its gonna hurt when it finally bitch slaps you and yours..

and you will have no one to blame but yourself.

dont come here with your empty belly..

 

I meant that I believed the article, I just didn't believe that you hated saying "I told you so."

Anyway, where I am living, there has been absolutely no panic, no differences in prices that I've noticed and no visible shortages. Most people round here grow their own rice, or buy from their neighbours. And almost everybody has a veggie patch.
