Have you been paying attention to the fact that food prices have doubled, and in some cases, even tripled over the last few years, with much of the increase taking place just in the last few months.
That should be more alarming to us than the price of oil. Oil prices are serving to divert attention away from the bigger problem, imo.
There are already several nations rationing food, and here in the USA stores are starting to do so on certain foods, like grains and rice.
I am not an alarmist, but I feel it is an indicator that things are about to get real bad.... a lot worse than anything anyone in our generation has ever experienced. Think depression bad....

Are you prepared? Do you have a food storage, emergency supplies, water storage, etc., to get you through if the bottom drops out? If not, now is a good time to start building it up.
Do you have the skills and knowledge to get along without modern conveniences? If not, it might be time to learn some, or many.
Again, I do not consider myself an alarmist, but I am one who likes to be prepared for the worst, and it looks like this nation might be heading into the worst financial times since the great depression.
Up until now, the food shortage was mainly affecting other nations (African, Asian, etc.), but we are starting to feel it here, to an extent. To what extent will we feel it? I guess we will see...
Your thoughts?
