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

LOL!  I don't have a supplement business, though I have thought about it.  I make most of my money by writing.  If I am lucky, supplement affiliate sales cover the cost of my main website.  And I have no plans on attacking anyone. unless it is part of a general uprising to return our country to the founding principles.  I feel very sorry and apologize in advance to anyone who seeks to attack me.  Insofar as burials and stenches - not way up here in the isolated hill country of southwest Texas.  Might be a few people perish of "lead poisoning", but there are plenty of coyotes to take care of that.

You are right, 3 months is really not a lot of food.  I probably should have a few more months than that.  The Mormons plan sounds like a good one to me.  Hmmm, you know there is that offshoot sect of polygamists very close to where I live . . . I just might have a few extra cans of beans for some comely young lasses.

Seriously now - you make it sound like somehow it would be my fault for being prepared if there is a food shortage. Or that it is somehow wrong for me to be prepared and warn others to do the same.  Are you saying we should not be prepared?  Insofar as what do I do after the food runs out, the answer is: the same thing man has done for thousands of years.  I eat what I can grow, kill and catch - and I preserve as much as I can and try to keep a good supply of food on hand.  I can hunt, shoot, fish, garden and cook with the best of them - so if that is what needs be done, I am ready.

Actually, I do not see a true longterm food shortage in this country for a long time to come - but there surely may be one or more short term ones created by deliberate acts that panic the population at large.  Whether those acts come from within or without, I plan to be prepared.

If you wish to criticize or somehow cast me in an ill light for being prepared, so be it.  My few hundred cans of canned goods and bags of beans, rice and grains, etc. can't save the rest of the country or the world - but they might save me and those I care most about.  Other than that the best I can do is advise the others I care about.  Such as the members of this forum.

I do see worldwide food shortages and a tremendous rise in the cost of food (it is already happening).  The food will continue to go where the money is.  And it very well may cost an arm and a leg.  All the more reason to buy ahead of time in bulk and to start growing, raising, hunting and preserving.
