As for the neighbors...

...Who would they like to live beside...if food shortages come?


Perhaps give them a little basket of fresh veggies, or dehydrated, or home-canned, or from your root cellar...if not free, then half the supermarket price.


Stuff that grows through, or over, the fence, is always nice. I'd bet they avoid spraying those areas...just so they can pick for their own tables, with confidence.


During WW II, I read of WW I Victory Gardens. Even the government had programs to help people feed people.

"The average back yard can sustain four adults for one year." A planting guide came with that.

The U.S. government sent out folks to show the poor how to live on cheaper foods, and this long after the war.

In England, volunteers from the city went to live on farms producing for the public, and for the armed forces. Plus, the volunteers got to live away from the bombs.

People even shipped their children away from 'trouble', but that didn't always work out well.

The Dutch royal family came to Canada, and Beatrix was born here.


People do what they have to in hard times...just as you and I are doing today.


...As long as we don't forget how, by not heeding the stories told by seniors...listening instead to salesmen's pitches.


As Deep Throat said, "Follow the money." Then we will understand the money system that gets us into deep doo-doo.

...And, we can choose the less expensive ways that will save us.
