How To Store Survival Food
Survival Living Imminent In USA?
Who would of thought that survival living would be a reality in America?
We in America are spoiled. We have so many decisions at the grocery store that it is beyond the imagination that food won’t be there. Although there are plenty of right here in the US who head off to bed hungry on a constant basis, the true food lacks which have sparked riots in other countries have thus far escaped the United States.It is not wise to think we are immune forever.
Wendell Berry discussed in his book ‘The Unsettling of America’ 31 years ago that food was too important to be used as a weapon. People have ignored that idea for 30 years because – WE have food on the grocery shelves and it can’t be that bad.
Society looked the other way as dairy farmers fought to hang on to herds of a pair hundred cows and maintain their lifestyle. It looked the other way again when small hog farmers were buried under 9 cent hogs, a price that meant ham alone brought twice what the whole pig cost. Some farmers gave hogs away as it would cost them to sell or keep them.
This eliminated many alternatives for our food. While we see now that with oil those who have it can, will, and do dictate the price folks do not see the flashing neon sign that our food supply is in the same situation. Indeed, clients are for the most part so oblivious of it that they continue to buy on cost, generating cash for the few of corporate entities that hold the bulk of our survival food storage.
Archer Daniels Midland – ADM – bills itself as’supermarket to the world’ and had a 67% increase in profits while Cargill – resented by tiny farmers across the globe – had an 86% profit increase.
Most purchasers haven’t a clue what some ingredients in their products truly are.
for example, sorbitol is a hydrogenated sugar alcohol derived from corn, which is employed in sugarless gums and candy, as well as being an ingredient in polyurethane.
As one of the biggest processors of oil seed, ADM produces soybean powder and meal for human and animal use. Extracted from that’s a crude oil used not only for eatable oils, vegetable oils and lecithin, but also for economic oil, biodiesel, and polymers.
Cargill – enjoying record profits – has its hands in baked products, cereals, drinks from alcohol to soft drinks to fruit drinks, candy and chocolate, dairy, health and organic ( think sports drinks, vitamins ), meat and poultry, pharmaceuticals, prepared foods ( seasonings, jams/jellies, side and main dish mixes, puddings, sauces and masses more ) and snack foods. You will not see ‘Cargill’ on grocer shelves overtly labeled just like you will not see the other majority players, but it’s's there and much of what you eat comes from them.
Rest guaranteed when it comes to maintaining those record profits that they will have that in mind before those too poor to buy their foods. Cotton farmers in India, pushed out by Monsanto cotton, have committed suicide at the prospect of losing their livelihood, and farmers in many other countries do not even desire them as neighbors. If it comes to their finances or yours – theirs will take precedence. Monsanto and Cargill each own 50% of a corporation that markets GM foods globally.
Monsanto eagerly pushes farmers into courtrooms where a small farmer has no chance of winning, whether they’ve ever planted their seed. One farmer was held responsible for planting their genetic altered seed on land he did not even own – which made no difference in the courtroom. Absolute power corrupts fully is a suitable proverb to describe what’s happening.
With these corporations holding the overwhelming majority of our food supplywhat happens when they raise prices and demand more profits? We will do without fuel – but we will not do without food. Unfortunately, the headlights are approaching and Yankee consumers don’t have an idea to move off the road.
Corporate America exists for one thing – profit. They might give a token amount for charities but profit comes before anything. Lower costs drive the ‘reasons’ for GMO products, which the general public don’t want to eat and farmers do not want near their fields.
If your checkbook is drained and they are showing record profits do you think they may barter with you as small farmers will? Do you think they will feel sorry and say’here’s groceries till you get on your feet? Not going to happen – it cuts into their profit. Farmers have seen it – patrons don’t and are ignorant of it.
