Re: This is a vital issue everyone should pay attention to!

"Even if people increased their purchasing by 20%, all the store shelves would be wiped out."

Isn't that what would happen if people took the advice to buy enough food for 3 months?

Personally I believe that 1 month of no food on the shelves would bring it to a head. There are too many people who couldn't afford to buy 3 months worth of food to begin with, and they aren't going to let themselves, and their families starve.

I would think that one month of no food would bring the situation to a head one way or another. Millions would be out of jobs, the economy would be in chaos, and crime would be rampant. The police and other emergency agencies would be overwhelmed.

To think that anybody can hoard food while others starve is rediculous. Better that we should see that everybody is fed. We are in this together whether we want to realize it or not.

Even guns, and ammunition won't keep starving people from burning down your house to get at the food.

One suggestion for making it past the month of chaos until the powers that be get it straightened out is to stock pile distilled water, or buy a distiller. We could all stand to lose some weight, and what better way than a 30, or 40 day water fast. In addition if you want to back that up with some food, do it with seeds that can be sprouted. Buy staples like flour, and corn meal to make bread. Dehydrate some vegetables which will last months, and store efficiently. Have a juicer, or blender to utilize greens, and edible weeds. Plant some seeds.

And above all, do it quietly so as not to start a stampede.
