What will it takes to get you serious about food storage (insurance!)?
John Havener April 30th, 2008
Part of my personal burden for you is for you and your families and friends have some reserves of essential supplies, especially food and water, so that when the crunches come you will not be”out there” with the panicked crowds, scrambling and grabbing for some disparately needed something to keep you going until things settle down…for a while. Old friends of mine were in the Minneapolis area during the race riots of the 60′s. The location where they lived was barricaded/ cordoned off. The mad scene at the grocery stores inside this perimeter, with people emptying shelves passionately and rudely, burns in their memories. It can happen again, and suddenly. Recently Glenn Beck said ‘Last week the U.S. agricultural secretary said, and I quote, “We have never been less secure about the near-term future of wheat. The threat here at home is real, and it is urgent.” http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/glenn.beck/ Follow that with Sam’s club on April 23rd restricting the number of large bags of rice that a person could buy in their stores. Is this really significant? Deeply so, in my view. If food supplies are temporarily cut off, due to some escalation of what some call the “Global Food Crisis,” are you ready to handle it or will you be out there with the impassioned crowd? If you are serious, you can finds some great books on Food Storage and Emergency Preparedness at Amazon.com. I will post some interesting stuff soon…but what will it takes to get you serious about food storage (insurance!)?
