Fortunately there are tens of thousands of other processing plants. Ironically, this is the sort of event that leads to shortages from panic buying instead of a genuine lack of supply.

Thank God I just bought toilet paper.

I hope I’m wrong on this but the worst that could happen is that I’m stocked on cans!

Ugh.. its hard enough getting stuff in the market I work in. Buy a few extra things, don't hecking coronageddon 2.0 please x.x

Those can't be accidents, 1 or 2 under a few months are accidents, a lot over a single month is intentional. Calling it now Bill Gates will use his massed farmland to launch his own product line that will be either stupidly over priced or will be tied to "up to date vaccination status"

According to my guy at the FBI: one is an event, two is a coincidence, three is enemy action.

That's a way to look at it, though I'd tweak it, two is suspicious, three is a pattern.

Different terms for the same idea.

Your paranoia and willingness to believe dubious information sources are once again getting the better of you.

Trust in a senile president and his crack head son if you want.

I don't particularly trust him for a lot of things, but he's got fuck all to do with food distribution.,

trust in common sense and stop letting public opinions of supposed "woke" individuals with social media access sway youre views

I grew up in a prepared family, we always have a few weeks of canned goods, which I replenish back to full weekly. If walmart is out of corn one week, two, or three, life goes on and I buy what I need when it is back. I just get grumpy when the fresh items I get weekly are not there and I have to make alternatives (ie chicken thighs sold out or something)

Bum paper we ALWAYS have plenty on paw, always have, always will, when the current cube drains I buy a new cube next time I can, with 1 cube always in tow.

Short answer, yeah, I am well stocked, and I can deal with it if the tin foil hats go buy all the corn or something this week. corn will be back in stock, this country can't run out of it we grow so stupid much of it. worst case I will eat what ever IS in stock if we run low on what we want.

I call him Puppet Man or President Puppet Man.

There's evidence of shortages already in a lot of stores. Just look at the shelves next time you go shopping. Things are so screwed. Hopefully some changes will be coming this November.

Just thought I would point out it's a bad argument. "Look at the shelves" does not equate food shortage. It 'could' but it also 'could' be panic buying. You need more facts before drawing a conclusion. ^_^""

But things are definitely screwed. xD I'm running out of stickers!

It's not "panic buying" when you go into a store the day after delivery date & find the same amount of patrons in the store that were there before all this crap 2 years ago, yet the shelves are lacking the amount of food that was on them back then.

But I get what you're saying. Only thing is, we haven't seen any 'runs' on the grocery stores here. Maybe in some other areas there might've been, but we haven't seen the evidence here so it could be either or.

See? You're adding in more facts now hehe ^_~

one thing we can say is Lets go Brandon. I'm running out of stickers. o_o

And even if it it panic buying. It just as well causes shortages

I've been casually buying emergency food for several years. Partly to have stocks in an emergency, and partly because the foods are all simple to prepare one pot meals that suit my limited cooking skills and available time.

I always keep at least a few months of dry and canned food on hand, I generally buy meat produced locally from the producer and I don't see much possibility of disruption there.

Not directly, but if others' normal source is disrupted, they may turn to your normal source and exhaust it.

Conspiracy theorists keep getting it right; experts say "that's dangerous." ~ CTV News

I laughed when I saw that. When you rename fact based views to Conspiracy, than Conspiracy Theorists will indeed get things correct after all. xD

I feel sorry for The Onion. How are they supposed to come up with outlandish s#!t when the world is like it is?

I think there was a article a while back about how troubling it was that people could no longer tell if a story was real or a babylon bee story because things had gone so insane in our world.

I miss the Modesto, Ninja Parade

The Babylon Bee has been taking up the mantle pretty well. Though, too often their jokes become truth. o_o it's, incredible to watch.

Isnt that the truth. Also quite perturbing.
So whats the time frame on the next big panic over finding Dihydrogen Monoxide in a city water supply?

Nah, Russian Bots hacking the gas supply of course!

😁😈😇

LIES LIES LIES!!!

Biden is going to have the country flowing with milk and honey, no starvation, no shortages, no inflation at all, jobs for everybody and even affordable housing!

Thank goodness the Adults are Back in Town! xD

Also free rice pudding for all, and the abolition of Tuesday. Its a pointless day.

One nice thing about living in Tyson Foods' hometown: There's always SOMETHING on the shelves.

Yeah, they rent space to the homeless. Thats why they are always filled.

This isn't even mentioning the 28,000,000 chickens culled in 2021 due to "bird flu".

And another 5,000,000 are being culled this year (and the year isn't over yet).

Well, we've had Plauge, we have War, might as well tell Famine to saddle up.

Yeah, I noticed the four horsemen also!

Nah, the Plague had a 30-60% Death Rate. xD

'They' crippled our economy, primarily the working, blue collar middle class, for two years.
Anyone not expecting shortages of everything, after that, is not paying attention to reality.

Nope, not fires its just ... erm ... part of the cooking process? ... Yeh thats it. Problem solved, nothing to see here, move along comra.... um citizen.

Panic shopping is what makes shortages worse. And all of these "supply chain" issues were caused by the vaccine mandates, not actual shortages. As or these food shortages, It feels like it's being intentionally planned in hopes to push people to panic buy less for more. Why else would these food plant fires be magically happening all of a sudden? Somethings stinky is going on.

And let's not forget that California's absurd restrictions on the trucking industry seeded this problem years in advance. And it certainly doesn't help when the Secretary of Transportation (the dude who's supposed to handle this sort of problem) disappears for two months in the middle of the crisis for paternity leave.

For anyone who is unfamiliar with the Midwest, we have these things called "tornadoes," so stocking up on essentials is already old hat.

Stock up and don't advertise.

Y'ever see those morons on Preppers? "Yeah we live twunny miles out of Peoria on highway 83. That's ire house and this whar we keep the dried foods & ammo," said the 300# mom...

Well said.

But remember: it's still the Midwest. It's sort of assumed that your neighbors have the means to defend their caches.

I live in Texas. Our guns have guns.

Like in Arizona, Somebody unarmed, "Oh, From California I see!" (Goes great with that billboard 1 mile inside Arizona along the Ten coming in from California..."Welcome to Arizona, now, go home!")

Hey, Californians can ruin their own republic. Leave mine alone.

Aah yes, Toddlers & Tiaras: the overt sexualizaton of children by white females. The elephant in the child abuse/exploitation prevention room that will get you kicked out for mentioning...

"Females?"

I believe you meant to say "menstruating persons."

Have you seen the latest? The party of "men can menstruate too" want to fight "disinformation".

Sounds like Kevin Gibes and their "am hole". More like as I heard described "Hatchet Wound".

Well, the nice thing about being well above sea-level is that we can have furnished basements.

Well as far as I know there will still be chicken. The plant I work at has not been having any problems.

Let us all give thanks to the chickens as they be plentiful. Let us thank the Lord Colonel Sanders for his bountiful blessings upon us. Hallelujah!!!

I'm not a huge number-cruncher guy but as I understand it forecast no part of the US is suddenly going to run entirely out of food. What's going to happen is prices will go up from shortages, aisles will have LESS of things (and occasionally none of the things you WANT, just the stuff you can tolerate) at random intervals, and some people will starve because they cannot AFFORD the new price, although food will still be there. Remember there's a lot of food waste. https://youtu.be/i8xwLWb0lLY ANd last I checked the US government *still* pays people to not grow food just to keep the market functional.

if you seriously have to ask "where is this food shortage coming from" then you're so lost in your paranoid delusions and dubious information sources that you probably didn't notice that there's currently a war going on between Ukraine and Russia.

long story short: we have another Iron Curtain that was raised, sanctions and trade embargos were put in place against Russia, the aggressor of this war and all this had a negative effect on global trade and will continue to have a negative effect for quite some time to come.

but I'm sure that your paranoid, deluded mind is going to come up with some excuse to pin all of this on the left instead. that's what you always do.

Geese get personal why don’t you?!

When ya gots no facts, personal attacks.

When they say there will be a shortage “in a year” then the shortage is planed.

Yes, yes, everything bad happening in the world is always the fault of a creepy illuminati conspiracy by a couple of dudes in creepy robes who do nothing but cackle like emperor Palpatine all day long... We've been here before plenty of times dude, I heard it all before.

The shortages are hardly planned. The folks in power simply realize that they're incompetent and are just covering their backsides. They still have x-number of months/years in power and they want to be able to say that whatever additional problems that arise are somehow not their fault because they were "predicted."

Hey, how about offering a solution to the problem? I've never heard one member of this administration offer one single solution or alternative. First they tell us that all of our problems are the fault of the last guy in charge. Then they say the problem is "transitory." Then they change the narrative to say that the shortages are here to stay and that they have have no means of curing it. After fifteen months, all they can say now is "It'll suck, just get used to it."

I'm glad that we can both agree that these shortages are not planned 🙂

As for the blame game, that's unfortunately been American politics for the past few decades. Everything is always the other sides fault. Unfortunately it does not look like this is going to change anytime soon 😕

Similar unfortunate : sometimes there are no solutions and all we can do is weather the storm as best as we can.

The "blame liberals" game would be a lot more convincing if liberals ever had power, but they generally don't.

Yes! Everyone knows that the levers of power are in bohemian coffee houses during poetry reading sessions. All the big boys go to those!

Sometimes it looks like the John Birchers went to the Republicans and the flag-burners to the Democrats.

Haven't seen any flag burners on the left recently, but there's been plenty of fascism on the right. I am afraid for the future of our country. It looks like the fascists on the right are licking their chops.

I love burning flags! Bring me all your flags!

Well, There's always an exception!!!

I'm not even particular what's on 'em!

Flag worship has always interested me. I think it might be peculiar to the USA because of the daily "Pledge of Allegiance" ceremony in most US schoolrooms. Daily indoctrination seems to work!

I've always found it a little weird and it's always rankled me. For a number of reasons I haven't recited or stood for a pledge of allegiance since about 1969 or 1970.

IIRC the whole recitation of the pledge of allegiance thing in schools, etc. only goes back to the beginning of WWII, and the "One nation under God" bit was added in the mid fifties, about the same time as "In God We Trust" was added to our money. It seems to me that that probably resulted largely from the red scare. It certainly goes against the idea of separation of church and state, and I find the blind nationalism troubling as well. To this day I can often get a lot of hostility and nasty looks for not participating.

My only problem with the flag is when it's used for blind nationalism purposes. I don't mind the red, white and blue decorations at all in a family picnic on the Fourth of July. If it is welcoming, then it is good, if it is pushing hatred, that's not good.

If the idea of pride in a place can be positive and inclusive it's good. I'm against the potential divisiveness.

Yeah. That's the trick.

I have more problems with nationalist presentations before sporting events promoting an us vs them mentality with taxpayer paid aircraft presentations costing millions for a private enterprise.

I feel ya there. I don't support militarist propaganda.

Also, I don't suppose it really needs to be said, but "Fascists on the right" is redundant. Wouldn't want to reinforce the right's recent attempts to label leftists as fascist.

That is true! Thank you for the correction!

Groomers are not Liberals.

Indeed, they tend to be conservative. But that's beyond tangential to the topic at hand.

Sure....

I'm sorry, what American political party currently controls the House, the Senate, and the Whitehouse?

Neither, thanks to the filibuster, obstructionism, and conservative democrats. And no surprise you forget the stolen court even exists.

With one notable exception: You know that something is going well when the current folks in charge are taking credit for it.

You do realise, of course, that leftist energy policy is a strong exacerbating factor, right? NIMBYist pants‐shitting over nuclear power led to largely phasing it out, especially in Europe. Climate change activists pushing for inefficient, unreliable, and/or expensive renewable energy has cemented Russian oil as the only practical energy source there (and probably contributed to Putin declaring war; “What is the EU gonna do? Sanction us and freeze then starve?”) Carbon credit schemes have made meat processing in Europe untenable. Finally, natural gas — a vital ingredient to making fertiliser (itself largely produced in both Ukraine and Russia) — is being promoted as the replacement to Russian oil, which will divert it from attempts to produce fertiliser locally. Starting to see a pattern here?

And this is only ONE thing that is going to cause food shortages. The supply chain issue is more than just pandemic policies, it’s the second and third order effects. Like how vaccine mandates and lock downs led to supply chains being severed at the production end by being unable to manufacture enough or move goods fast enough to keep solvent and at the transportation end via ridiculous quarantine delays and worker shortages. Or like how inflation’s debasing the currencies of the world has increased gas prices, which affects everything because oil is needed to not only distribute goods, but also to produce goods and power. Or like how rampant illegal immigration’s depressing wages and additional demand for food is effectively a two‐pronged assault on food security.

Brought to you by people who say you will own nothing and be happy.....

Which would be exactly zero people. Your paranoid fantasies are getting the better of you once again.

If that is true then why do you repeat yourself?

It seems pretty valid since you keep falling into the same traps.

Just who has ever said that?

Why don't you just rest on what you have said and wait and see...

You're avoiding the question.

I suspect it's because no one has said that.

enough.

So we both agree that all this is the fault of power hungry Putin instead of a conspiracy thought up by a secret cabal of leftist illuminati, which is usually Alex' argument.
Thank you for agreeing with me.

Natural gas consumption NOW doesn't affect fertilizer shortages yesterday. Russian oil and natural gas becoming popular are the result of the opposite of Climate Change activism (but that is part of the narrative of the anti-green movement). NIMBYists tend to be both sides (and actually lean just a hair to the right).

Blaming pandemic policies is the classic "prove a negative or it's your fault" joke. People DYING affected and would have continued to affect the supply chain. Vaccine mandates REDUCED the number of people taken out of the chain by their plague-rat co-workers, or maybe it had no effect at all. Inflation is chaser that comes AFTER financial policy controlled during 2016-2020, humm, guess we better change that subject. "Rampant Illegal Immigration" is "OMG a wolf" and you've been crying wolf so long nobody believes you. Looks like we're still well below 2010 numbers tho. https://www.forbes.com/sites/stuart.....h=174d3a894e14

And this is a global shortage, so immigration is going to be the result of shortages already happening. As usual "LEFTIST EVIL CONSPIRACY" is actually "stuff happened, short-sightedness made it worse."

Don't forget who raises the prices on things and then profits from it: Business and corporations. It's not the Democrats or Biden.

Profiteering on climate change, the pandemic, and the war are real. Just look at who has made and continues to make record profits over the last few years, and who stands to profit the most from any shortages.

Rule 162, Even in the worst of times, someone turns a profit. https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wik.....of_Acquisition

One side is certainly deeper in the corporate pockets, but even if you get past the Republican Propaganda it takes more than picking a "side" to actually make good voting decisions. There are positions that are overwhelmingly popular among the electorate which never see any progress because when something comes up for a vote that same American public begging for it suddenly decides they don't like THAT bill because some talky-man on the TeeVees told them it involved scary minorities or something.

Democrats are almost equally complicit, considering their general support for Wall Street and almost universal support for the continual escalation of Pentagon spending.

Disaster capitalism doesn't even need Ferengi rules for justification.

That's mostly a narrative. False equivalence and "all politicians are the same" means "never be engaged in the political process, just give up or join fruitless and hopeless 'revolution' movements." The closest thing we've had to "revolution" were either mercilessly crushed by authority or not-so-secretly created by authority to undermine citizen engagement.

I don't disagree with you, but that doesn't negate what I said, either.

It's necessary to call out the reprehensible behavior of both political parties. One of the main reasons for the Democratic party's continued weakness is their lack of a strong pursuit of more clearly popular progressive policies. They keep being pulled and pushed to the right by a misperception that they have to cater to some imagined constituency of moderate and conservative Democrats and the general rightward pull of the Republicans. The Dems need to take more of a stance of clearly standing FOR things as opposed to mostly just being on the back foot and reacting to them.

"What does it mean?" Well as usual you can blame Trump or you can suddenly pretend you're apolitical.

Thanks to major supply chain problems in 2020 chemical fertilizer took a production hit. There is now a continent-wide shortage of fertilizer. I know what you're about to ask and no, it's more than "needing poop to spread around", industrial-level food production requires processing and ammonium nitrate. But that means at planting season we already know that harvest season isn't going to be as productive as normal.

Problem 2, again the politics are inconvenient, Ukraine is a maaaaajor grain producer that is currently missing planting season. Their flag is literally blue sky over yellow grain. So European/asian food imports go up and prices go up and supply goes down worldwide.

The people you don't listen to have been pointing this out since February or before. Looks like the usual liars found a way to pretend it's Biden's fault. Facts don't matter, after all, only propaganda.

It's always Trump.

It only seems that way because you fastidiously hold to the "every accusation is a confession" school of political thought. Trump was objectively a bad president, but he's only responsible for what he did, and if you talked about things he didn't do we wouldn't have to point out he did them. Ukraine...yeah he was an FSB asset and he thoroughly undermined efforts to defend Ukraine.

And as I said, you can blame Trump or you can NOT make it political. The choice was yours when you joined the "omg liberal starvation conspiracy" derp-train. In reality there wasn't much to be done to stop the supply chain "hiccups" and the consequences we'll be feeling for years (if not decades). There are a few things he could have done, of course, but hindsight is always easier to see such things. Even his actions and INactions with Ukraine were only part of the whole. Putin was likely to invade Ukraine regardless, he'd just be having an even tougher time of it.

But you made a choice to jump on a known liar's bandwagon. You continue to make that choice every time you watch his stupid videos. We are always free to discuss things WITHOUT obsessively trying to project onto the imaginary Evil Leftist Globalist Jewish Conspiracy™ that occupies your head 24/7. We could just talk about growing seasons. Hell, this is GOOD news for American farmers. After the trade war with China having something bolster the domestic/europan market gives them hope. If they make it to harvest season, since they have to swallow that high-price fertilizer pill first.

"Trump was objectively a bad president"

I would be very interested to hear how your life is overall better today than it was in 2019. What specific aspects of your daily life are improved? Is it gas prices? Food prices? The fear of your car breaking down and not being able to replace it because of supply chain shortages? Name one aspect that is unambiguously improved. And if it hasn't improved, explain how the current power brokers have attempted to improve it in the last fifteen months and why they have failed.

And isn't it funny how Russia tends to invade other countries when Biden is near the Whitehouse? This of course includes the Russian invasion of Crimea (FYI: a part of Ukraine) when Brandon was Veep. If it's a false correlation, please enlighten me on an alternative theory. In these strange times, it's possible that I missed something. Please educate me.

And as a post script: I am always amused when lefties claim that conservative Americans are the conspiracy theorists. These are the same people that eighteen years ago flocked to see Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11," and seriously believed for four years that President Trump colluded with the Russians to rig a presidential election (amazingly, Russia didn't invade any countries during those years.)

Unsurprising how 2020 never happened in your world. There are less shortages, more business, less Americans being killed by war, less surrendering to forces that had already been defeated, less destruction of the state department, less absolute governmental paralysis due to executive incompetence, less children being put in cages then "disappeared", less breakneck spending that only lines the pockets of the ultra-wealthy, less petty crimes in the white house, less high crimes in the white house, less corruption, less promotion of police violence, the list goes on and on.

Almost every success Trump ever claimed was the result of Obama's recovery. What Trump should have been doing was maintenance and repair for the next economic downturn instead of spending billions trying to turn 4% unemployment into 3.7% unemployment.

And less need to care if the senile child molesting freak in the white house is going to suddenly nuke us all because a Russian told him to.

Funny how Russia only invades when it has no other options because it lost it's puppet(s) in the Washington? Yeah, funny that. Like they suddenly needed to hurry or lose the proxy war in Donbass. But since you made the mistake of opening this can of fail; Crimea fell and wasn't positioned to be retaken because the locals are too Russia-friendly. Donbass, where all the oil/gas is, has been a meat-grinder where Russian soldiers go to die for 8 years despite Trump repeatedly sabotaging efforts to aid the fighters there or prevent the genocide of Ukrainians. Putin was content to let Ukraine fight until it looked like they might be able to get US weapons and USE them (Trump's main effort was adding prohibitions against using the weapons we agreed to ship over) and frankly too busy taking over US bases in and around Syria after Trump gifted them too him. Remember that, right? When Trump resurrected ISIS and surrendered to them and to Assad? A pullout even messier than (his timeline) Afghanistan? Of course not, it went in the memory hole.

Let's see, more myths:
-"Lefties flocked to see Fahrenheit 9/11". News to everyone including ticket sales, but also I think that's the wrong film since that film didn't really have conspiracy theories, just facts that weren't widely publicized and a few "controversies" about details. (Saudi family flights...some alleged meetings surrounding the Iraq war plan?)
-Trump asked the Russians for help: proven. Russians helped Trump: proven. Collusion efforts: proven. Collusion success: Debatable. There were contacts where both sides tried to work together but literally couldn't communicate.
-Russia invaded Syria, and continued the invasion of Ukraine. Trump helped both.

I get it, none of that matters because facts don't matter. Trump's your god and the Trumpublican party is all right all the time. And since the other side doesn't pray to Joe Biden or hate Trump as much as you (irrationally) hate Biden, they must be wrong and weak like their faith in the political party god. But religion is a terrible way to run a country. Facts are better.

Does that 'educate' you?

Wow, someone needs a hug much?

From your confusing and despondent bullet point list of MSNBC fallback talking points (where is Rachael Maddow these days anyhow?) you appear to me to be stricken with TDS. Personally, I don't like to pick on folks with psychological disorders, so I'll refrain from further triggering you. My professional advice (having worked as an educator for a number of years) is that you either seek professional counseling or maybe switch to decaf. Go get some sleep. Repeat this odd rant to your familiar for some positive reinforcement. Then move forward with your life.

It's going to be okay. You can pull through this. We're all here for you

The fact that people actually have to leave blue areas because the Democrat voter will never even vote for a good Democrat will always be explained with....Trump.

For now. But they're looking ahead, already preparing themselves to vilify DeSantis or whomever else appears to be in good standing with the opposition party.

Democrats always play for keeps. It's just too bad they don't know what to do once they have all the pieces on the board.

I really don’t care about their little schemes to put cash in their own hands, just do things for us too.

True that

DeathSanta's vilifying himself quite effectively. You project, as usual.

Kind of like how people from Red States are flocking to Blue States. https://www.ksnt.com/capitol-bureau.....ata-shows-why/ https://www.inforum.com/news/north-.....kforce-problem

Um... You're not very good at searching on the internet, are you? You know that DeSantis is the governor of Florida, right? Not Kansas? And that over 900 people per day are moving to Florida, mostly from New York and California, right? Including your party's Madonna's (AOC's) mother? On that point, didn't miss red-lips just vacation there without a mask? Truly Florida must be a land death if Earth's savior will go there for cocktails.

Citation (by which I mean I googled "blue state flight" and this is what came up): https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar.....-pandemic.html

And you did know that Kansas has a democrat governor, right?

Oh, did I just 'educate' you on something? :) But don't be afraid. It's called "free thinking." Give it a try sometime. You might like it.

Seriously. If you want to play hardball with the grownups, you've got a long way to go. Remember what I said about that hug? Here: *hugs*

*drops the mic*

The angrier you get, the more embarrassingly stupid your posts get.

"When ya gots no facts, personal attacks." Buzzwords and name-drops from the mainstream republican media, how boring.

Holy shit.....stop ranting.

lol, physician heal thyself.

Did I ask you here?

Naw, it's just USUALLY Trump.

The problem won't be processing food as much as distributing it. As for panic buying- Back in the mid 1970s, during the so-called engery crisis, on the Tonight Show, host Johhny Carson made a joke about an upcoming toilet paper shortage. The next day, the public stripped butt-wipe from the shelves of supermarkets across the U.S., creating a real pre-Covid toilet paper shortage. It's not a bad idea to have some extra food on hand just in case of an emergency. But you're better off buying boxes of that military-grade stuff that can sit on the shelf for decades and still be edible. Even in cans or zip-lock bags, regular food expires rather quickly in storage.

I just wipe my ass on the cat....

No- Your wife's nice white guest towels. They won't lacerate your fundament.

I'm no prepper, but I did make a stash even back when covid started.
Looked up some foods that last for a long time, so I wouldn't have to restock even if I didn't need it for decades.
Remember, if you don't need it and think there's no need for it any more - you can just eat it.

- (dry) pasta. Tastes best in about 2 years, but doesn't perish
- cans. Last virtually forever, you could still eat WW2 cans
- honey. Lasts virtually forever
- water in glass bottles. Can be pet if you plan to use it, but for potential year long storages, glass should be used because of microplastics.
- salt. Already lasted forever and will continue to do so
- sugar. same as salt

Some that still last long but not quite as long:
- Condensed milk. 1-2 years
- vitamine tablets (depends on make)
- Crispbread ~1 year
- white flour. A year
- white rice. 2 years

And maybe toilet paper lol
Also keep in mind that a water filter, camping cooker and dynamo flashlight may not be a bad idea either.

Been thinking of about $25.00 in 🍯 honey!!

I got $60.00 in beef jerky!!

I've seen (well, tasted) Jerky go bad, or at least start to taste kinda nasty. I learned the hard way that the stuff they hang on the beer aisle doesn't sell very fast. Refrigeration helps, keeping it sealed helps.

And it's always a good time to quit alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, or the like. Those things grow in the dirt too, though their schedule will probably be a bit different.

It’s refrigerated in a jar with the salt bags it should last but I will replace it in a year.

Nuts and dried and/or canned beans are good to add to this list as well.

If you like them, dried peppers keep pretty well. They're pretty cheap, and there are a bunch of different kinds from sweet to smoky to hot, and they're great for flavoring things.

Another good thing to have if you've got the inclination, money, and space is some deep cycle batteries, solar panels, charger and inverter, and/or a generator, as well as fuel. and don't forget fuel for your camp stove!

Some good news on Food Deserts:
