TURD WORLD PEASANT FOOD 2

Every time I bring up wheat, in any capacity, a great silence descends upon the land. Everyone pauses, looks at everyone else, draws in a collective lungful of air and then a huge clamor of voices erupts orgasmically. But Jim, gross. I'm used to fluffy white bread. But Jim, the humanity, I have to buy a grinder? But Jim, they don't sell wheat in my town! To which I answer, quite reasonably if I do say so myself, have you even tried whole wheat? Yes, you need to buy a grinder, just like most people buy a rice cooker.

And, what in the hell is wrong with you? You don't have a bookstore in town, either. You still read books. So it costs a bit more ( I'm thinking of used books, specifically ). I will concede, however, that now that all the retarded unprepared preppers now cannot buy freeze dried and so are buying wheat, and at this point there is no more wheat by mail. Find a grocery store that offers those bulk bins selling organic foods. They can probably get you a 25 pound sack of organic wheat kernels. It won't be cheap, like a feed store would.

*

You could always buy whole wheat flour from Wal-Mart. I just prefer the kernels myself, both health wise and for the fact you can sprout them for fresh veggies. But you can mail order other kinds of seeds for sprouts. I'm close to feed stores, so I don't have the issue many of you do. Which does mean, probably, that everything else you buy is cheaper, being in an urban hive. So I have a hard time feeling bad. And, you don't have to immediately start eating whole wheat. Start out just adding a little to white flour. Up the whole wheat percentage over time. You actually come to prefer whole wheat, I'm confident.

*

Now, we talked about potatoes. Who doesn't love potatoes? Especially as a delivery system for fat, be it either gobs of butter on a mashed or baked, or paper soaking vat grease from fries. You eat potatoes one meal, and whole wheat the next, balancing that grease with a whole grain. The third meal, meh, whatever. A white food at this point is harmless. You already have your protein and your fiber, your minerals and vitamins. I chose rice as it is cheap and a filler, plus variety.

*

What about the fat? I said, the best you can afford. I am eating only butter myself. I put it on my breads, and cook with it. Most other oils nuke my gall bladder. If I had to switch to olive oil, it would probably be cheaper. Butter works for me, even at $3 a week. Your veggies are either seed sprouts, or whatever you are growing or can afford. Perhaps you add onions to everything. Those are nice and healthy, but don't neglect dark greens ( celery doesn't count ). Take a vitamin pill to make sure. Animal protein is great. If all you can afford is liquid chicken, you could do a lot worse.

*

So, call it $5 a week, between butter and eggs. I'm going to call it at 500 calories for each of the three foods ( with the fat being an extra several hundred ). Call it thirty potatoes per ten pound bag, each one 100 calories. I don't think you'll be able to eat five small to medium potatoes a day, unless you are doing heavy labor. But, say you do, a ten pound sack is about a weeks worth of potatoes. Usually, about $3. Flour is 400 calories a cup, and that is only two plate size flat breads. One pound of flour lasts a week ( roughly ). Expensive whole wheat flour at Wal-Mart is $3 a five pound bag. It is less, but round it up to $1 a week.

*

It would be 25cents a week if you ground it yourself. Now, rice is a bit more to buy per pound, unless you buy a huge bag. Still, call it a buck a week. All the above is $8 a week. Two thousand calories a day. If you ate the cheaper liquid oil, and no eggs, I'd call it $6 a week. That is only with sprouts, and only salt and pepper for seasoning. If you ate a bit less in potatoes, $5 a week. Now, nobody wants to eat this austere of a diet, but remember what we are talking about here. An extreme low cash expenditure diet, for tough times.

*

If you had a large family, you could shop at the restaurant supply outlet ( although one wonders how many will survive the coming retail food apocalypse ). Their prices are half of Wal-Mart. You just need to buy big packages. But call it a family of four, and you are able to buy wheat at the feed store, plus get the bulk groceries. $3.50 or so a person, per week, with full potato rations, butter and eggs. $14 a week for everyone. And it might even be lower, if the wife and kids cannot eat that many calories. And no, I'm not saying many people would voluntarily spend so little. Kids want fruit and vegetables, plus condiments including sugar.

*

Of course, during a collapsing economy, this might make up 90% of your grocery budget. The things desired might be the items that become luxuries. Think about how oranges used to be a holiday treat item. But then, a backyard vegetable garden and chickens are the easiest things to learn and get going, aren't they? You might end up only buying cooking oil, chicken feed, salt and grain on a regular basis, all else home produced. But the above gets you through the immediate unemployment crises. If you do actually get food stamps, buy more of the same, to stockpile, as they won't last long before the government ceases to function.

*

This isn't a complete list. Some folks will also eat oatmeal, or eat the same food twice a day instead of once. Perhaps you cannot eat rice without soy sauce, or pancakes without syrup. Some people need less calories, others more. What I'm trying to point out is that in an emergency, you can go to the store with almost no money and eat well on that, if you need to. Done right, you need not eat an unhealthy diet, or one that is excessively boring. This might be the way to stockpile a very cheap grocery store six months food storage, before you need to touch your apocalypse food.

*

What if you already had the ingredients on hand, and only had to spend $3 a week on potatoes? That would make a world of difference come unemployment. One less worry. It is just another tool to consider.

note: the son in law, who worked for a well known name brand toilet paper factory last year, states that they were going balls to the wall in production, six months before Beer Bat Bug.  There is no way they can ramp that up.  Conclusion, good luck filling all those bare shelves.  
*
note: rumors-just one source, nutnfancy HERE-of gun and especially ammo shortages ( months behind filling emptying shelves ).  Makes sense, as most folks "have no room" and just buy a box if they go to the range, then only have a box or two worth of ammo in ready to deploy mags ( it seems pistol ammo is going to take the bigger hit ).  But now everyone who refused to leave the white boy reservations surrounded by OtherColors is suddenly having visions of Ferguson.  Jesus, people, its like watching two monkey's humping a football
*
note: sweet Baby Jesus on a turd surfboard!  $1.5 TRILLION dollars into the repo market to buy back SOME of the weeks loses?  How long can that possibly go on?  Nothing to see here, it's only the flu, bro.
