Title: The War on Rising Food Prices: a Pre-Emptive Strike – learn to cook
1The War on Rising Food Prices
- a Pre-Emptive Strike learn to cook
2Whenever I hear some pin- headed newsperson or
criminally insane Washington kleptocrat call
out a war cry against a noun , like the war on
illiteracy or the war on drugs i chuckle a bit
their
3 foolishness with regards to word choice. But, I
think its important to
face fears, so
Ive entitled this article similarly by waging
war on an economic phenomenon that
4we are experiencing now, that may be
(definitely) being brought about by Government
meddling into the currency markets a.k.a
printing trillons upon
5trillions of currency units, not just U.S.
dollars either, everything paper. On
the hierarchy of needs, foods a pretty big deal
in case you havent noticed.
6 Food prices and oil pricesrun
virtually in tandem if youlike looking at
charts. As this new craziness, this latest effort
to destroy our fellow man, really gets hot, oil
prices will
7be stupid. It may become very impractical to
drive a car and food prices will be aggravated
times a thousand. Imagine a whole lot of very
hungry Americans.
8Enter frustration and rage. So,
what can you do? Outfit your entire living space
with food producing plants and animals for
starters. Whatever you can do to produce food,
9 just learn how to do it. Or, if you live in a
place where you have zero options for this, you
just move the hell out of there, ok? Move
somewhere sunny and wet, outfit your roof with
solar water heaters and gardens
10 have rain barrels, cisterns, raised beds with
mini plastic or glass green houses over them,
chicken coop, cold storage, root cellar, fish
pond, sheep, goats, whatever is produce.And
youproduce food.
11 Learn basic knife skills, butchery,
vegetable processing, baking, curing, roasting,
stocks soups and sauce making, pickling and
preserves. All of these skills will help you to
12reduce your overall annual food cost because you
will be better prepared to deal with seasonal
price fluctuations as well as any fluctuations in
individual food stuffs, which could happen as
regional governments meddles
13in the production and consumptions of
various products. Example if Arnold in
California declares no romaine lettuce is to be
shipped out of the state, because he wants to
hold onto it, the price is going through the roof
every-
14where else. Get used to cooking whatever is local
and start figuring out what other products/food
stuffs you havent considered before, but which
are suitable for your climate and region.
15 If you understand food storage and
production you may be better suited than most, to
protect yourself against rising food prices.
Hunting is also very useful and practical. If
u understand
16food storage and production you may be better
suited than most, to protect yourself against
rising food prices. Hunting is also
very useful and practical. Domesticated pig
breeds, now wild and roaming
17the country side eating farmers crops from the
day they are born until the day they die, plus
any delicious wild plants they may eat.
If I was allowed to kill those boars with no
upper limit, Id set up a proscuitto ham business
and
18start killing. Some proscuitto hams, that people
buy, are 60 years old! Meat, at room temperature,
60 years old! All you need is salt and a place to
hang them for a long time. This is top-quality
delicious gourmet food and it can be yours, with
a little learning and work.
19 Practical skills of all sorts and grit are
whats going to make it in the years to come. I
think practical people in the American
countryside could thrive! Like that Hank
Williams Jr. tune,
20Country Folks Will Survive, its their practical
skills hes referring to, including food-related
ones like how to skin a buck and run a trout
line. Food is important.
