Why would we run short of food? Where will it go?
I suppose if CCD gets 10 times worse and the bees stop pollinating we would be in serious trouble, other than that we should have plenty of food.

I do, for some reason, find it interesting to think about. What exactly would I fill a tractor-trailer with from Costco that wouldn’t perish, and would sustain me, for over a year?
Dinty Moore Beef Stew, FTW.
You get sick of that shit if you eat enough of it.
I know from experience. I think one can of that mixed with 2 cups of rice is how I got through school and gained weight while being broke.
We’re talking world-wide calamity here, aren’t we?
You may get sick of it, but that beats the alternative.
As for me and my family - we’re going to go kill my aunt and uncle, and take over their Y2K bunker. They thought the world was ending 8 years ago, and have a shit ton of unused survival shit.[/quote]
I am going to kill Lifticus while he is explaining to me why violence is unnecessary and eat all his food. I hope he has a can of fava beans and a nice Chianti…

1 can of stew and 2 cups of rice got you through school and helped you gain weight? That’s amazing. Did you eat it all at once, or ration if over the years?
Musta been some creatine or other steroid in that 1 can of stew.

@hypnotoad - yes the states are responsible for over 60% of the worlds grain I think but how many people can still grow crops properly, who has enough land for it? Can you catch game and skin it? A lot of people can’t anymore.
Most of the food would be guarded, rationed…[/quote]
the same people that grow it now would still grow it. instead of sending it to off other places, we keep it. or maybe we trade some grain to mexico for cattle. thats why i dont see how WE would have a shortage, if we can ALREADY produce all we need, and then some. its the countries that rely on our production that may suffer.
the real problem would be if yellowstone erupts, and covers the whole country in ash. then we would be looking at a worldwide food shortage, for sure.

He’ll have you farting hot air for months.
Before 2000, a liberal friend warned me of the Y2K crisis coming, but I laughed it off. Then a military friend who had ties with the Pentagon warned me in detail of how bad the Y2K situation would be for us all. I took his advice…half-heartedly. I stocked up on some basics, but couldn’t commit ultimately. I had faith in the computer geeks of the world to head off the Y2K problem, and it looks like they came through.
I feel the same about this issue you bring up as well.

Doc, the way folks around here seem to love your advice, I envision a slew of them switching to a canned stew and rice diet. “Well, if it works for the good doctor, it’s gotta work for me!”
lol

Shit…should I mention that I actually ate other stuff or let them kill themselves by inducing some nutrient deficiency from a lop sided diet?
I mean, there are way too many people in the world as it is…

C’mon quit goofing around…what else besides
Do I need to put on my grocery list before I head out to Sam’s Club?
also, should I get plain white rice or that yucky brown rice?
Cannabalism is the answer.
America has plenty of fattened up meat running around taking up valuable space and eating valuable food and expending valuable energy.

Holy shit ! People have been bitching about the obesity rate and what can be done about it. All you fuckers arguing against Intelligent Design and the existence of God can just stick your atheistic heads in the sand now.
Yeah…haterz…God is preparing Americans for the coming food crisis/apocalypse. Jeff Goldblum is the ArchAngel Michael delivering powerful messages via the Jurrassic Park dynasty.
OP…see if you can find Keanu Reeves or some other genius on You Tube to confirm this.
We grow and raise all our own food. We have a goat for milk, a pond stocked with trout along with 5 ducks for eggs. We have a bunch of rabbits running around. I had rabbit tacos for diner last night. My wife ground corn to make the tortillas, we grew the lettuce and made salsa from garden vegetables.
Winters can be kind of tough. By the end we are living off pumpkin and sunflower seeds and the cats are getting really skinny.

If you are in Hong Kong you are in trouble. Not as much obesity there…I guess it would be like eating quail. You have to skin a lot of them to get enough meat.
Heck, one or two in america would last you all winter.
Soylent Green.
If you insist on fresh food, do what zombies do.
Maybe I’ll just drive up to the west side of LA, where all the gun-hating liberals live, and take whatever I want.

We will run out of liberals pretty quick though since they will all be un-armed. At that point I say we seize control of the US military and take over the world. Who’s with me? Welcome to the United Republic Continents of Earth.

I guess I’ll help as long as I can be in charge of some small fiefdom, say North America.
