I had a garden and had food storage that was put aside for times of need. Plus our folks made sure we had milk, eggs, cheese and fresh meat. When times became better and the $40K in medical debt was paid off, I replenished our food storage and kept at it. In 2018 after watching crop damage from weather and reading crop loss reports, I started buying veggies in bulk, then dehydrated and vacuum sealed them. Picked up extra canning jars and food grade buckets. I've been lucky enough to find additional sacks of various beans and lentils the last few months along with additional buckets of wheat and corn for grinding. Making our own sourdough starter for bread making. If your readers are able to, I would recommend they locate Community Supported Agriculture in their areas. Check with local Ranchers about eggs, milk and meat. Learn to Butcher if needs be. I am one generation removed from farming and remember gathering eggs at my Grandmother's home. We as Americans will survive this plague of Gov't locusts and the virus. Just remember that Slavers never change and crave the destruction of our self-reliance.

The proles lined up 3 a.m. for free food, already well overweight and trolling around in nice cars and suvs as well. Pathetic humanoids. <br /><br />The food bank consortium here is also bloated with non profit grifters and always has a schtick with the hand out begging to the already broke and out of work community for more "cash, or recurring monthly donations like spca commercials showing scared puppies tactics, and the endless public relations browbeating of corporations for overstock donations. The news media plays into the hype of how without such programs kids and cripples would starve in the street like untouchables in bombay. It is like a large pyramid scheme structure where many participants either benefit from the gibs and give aways whether deperately poor or just mooches for free stuff like a casino gift give away. As well as all those jobs and titular positions that are attached to that new form of parasite organization that really just leaches resources from society like any other welfare-ish monstrosity. America is either a shake down extortion racket, or a beggar rattling a cup for alms. Either extreme example only exists and all of the middle ground normalcy is being exterminated by beast systems of operation. <br /><br />Stay fed and frosty.
