Food Shortage Recommendation

We received messages from many of you requesting more information from our last communication regarding the food shortage. The questions were primarily how much food to store and what kind of food.

We will get into those recommendations but, first, we want to give a caveat to this whole premise of a potential food shortage. Yes, we believe the food shortage is a real threat, as voiced by the globalist players at the IMF, the BIS, World Bank, The UN, the Rockefeller Foundation, the World Economic Forum, Bank of America, and the Biden administration. While we, as Americans, are probably the least likely to starve, we won’t be immune from record prices for globally scarce items. And that prompted our message. Food prices were up another 30% in April and the trend has not abated. So, preparation will likely help you save significantly, as well as fortify your family’s nutrition in a worst-case scenario.

FEMA recommends every household have a 14-day supply for each member of the household for "normal" emergencies. Barring the unlikely resolution of myriad of complex current factors, this situation appears to fall well outside the "normal" realm. It would be prudent to have a 30-day (min) supply of food; by whatever means you see fit.

According to FEMA:

· The average American has less than a 3-day supply of food on hand.

· The average American grocery store has less than a 24hr supply to cover the communities they serve.

· We are all accustomed to "just-in-time" delivery and have grown numb to the need for preparation.

There are many online vendors selling long shelf-life food buckets and packs, though we don’t have much experience with them to recommend a winning brand. You can procure much of what you may need locally. We recommend items with a long shelf life and staples of protein, carbohydrates, etc.:

· Rice

· Beans

· Canned Tuna/Chicken/Vegetables/Fruit/Nuts

· Noodles

· Dried fruit

· Cooking oils (much comes from Ukraine)

· Butter and Peanut Butter, Jelly

· Prescriptions

· Hard Candy

· Bottled water

We certainly hope this ends up being a non-issue, but as the adage says – “it’s better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it”.
