Food Supply                                                                                     (4)

 

 

Our food supply is fragile

Grocery stores don’t stock weeks of food anymore. Most keep only

72 hours of food on the shelves. They re-stock based on just-in-time

delivery of food supplies. If the trucks stop rolling in your part of the

 country during a crisis, the store shelves will be emptied almost immediately.

 In fact, expect a shortage of mainstay items like milk and bread to occur

similar to what happens before an approaching hurricane hits. Those who

are aware of the problem but who haven’t already made preparations will

 engage in a last-minute rush to buy a few extra supplies.

 

 

Transportation is the key to food

Without transportation, farmers can’t get their crops to the wholesalers

 or food processing facilities. Food is heavy, generally speaking, and it requires

trucks and trains to move it around — a literal ARMY of trucks and trains,

weaving their way from city to city, optimized and prioritized by computers.

 If the computers freeze, the whole transportation infrastructure will shutdown.

 Transportation also depends heavily on fuel, which means the

oil-producing countries in the Middle East have to be able to produce the

oil that gets refined into diesel fuel here in America. So, in other words,

your food supply depends on Saudi Arabia being alive and well.

Do you trust the people in charge in Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, and Kuwait

with your life? If you don’t make preparations now, you’re trusting them by default.
