Americans Are Not Prepared For The Unrest And Riots Dead Ahead With Countless US Households Headed Towards Homelessness And Starvation Due To Joe Biden's Weaponized Inflation
With it long warned only 9 meals separate a civilized society from total anarchy, with Alfred Henry Lewis stating all the way back in 1906“There are only nine meals between mankind and anarchy,” the key here is that, unlike all other commodities, food is the one essential that cannot be postponed.
If there were a shortage of, say, shoes, we could make do for months or even years. A shortage of gasoline would be worse, but we could survive it, through mass transport or even walking, if necessary. But food is different. If there were an interruption in the supply of food, fear would set in immediately.
And, if the resumption of the food supply were uncertain, the fear would become pronounced. After only nine missed meals, it’s not unlikely that we’d panic and be prepared to commit a crime to acquire food. If we were to see our neighbor with a loaf of bread, and we owned a gun, we might well say, “I’m sorry, you’re a good neighbor and we’ve been friends for years, but my children haven’t eaten today – I have to have that bread – even if I have to shoot you.”
Yet as this story over at Doug Casey's International Man warned some time ago, there’s nothing on the evening news to suggest that such a problem even might be on the horizon. So the large majority of Americans still have no idea what is ahead, but they'll find out soon enough with Joe Biden seemingly 'weaponizing' inflation, who will be prepared for a scenario like the one laid out above?
While the midterm elections have been dominating the news for months now, more so over the last week since some states appear to no longer be able to actually count and/or are using the extra time to commit voter fraud while "counting", so elections results in many races have still not been projected and announced, the world still turns and Americans are still being forced to make food decisions based on inflation, rather than nutrition.
As the Biden regime touts a 7.7% inflation number for October, down from 8.2% in September, what they do everything in their power to ignore, is that the when itemized, the staples used nearly every day in many American households, are seeing increases of 3-to-6 times that amount.
For example, via Market Watch, we see: "The rise in the cost of living showed some relief from last summer, but several categories rose far more than the overall rate of inflation. Egg prices rose 43%year-over-year in October, butter increased by 26.7%, and flour and prepared flour mixes were up 24.6%. Lettuce prices rose 17.7% year-over-year, while bread and milk prices rose by 14.8% and 14%, respectively."
Deviled eggs to munch on while waiting on Thanksgiving dinner are going to be expensive this year with many families choosing something else in its place. Same with the breads used in cooking, dinner rolls, milk, all things used daily as well as for special occasions, and we start to get an idea of how much more we are spending today for the same amount of food were able to purchase for nearly half the price just two years ago.
As millions of Americans have been forced to make changes to how they shop, therefore how they eat, with heartbreaking stories of those that can no longer afford to even eat three meals a day, or having to decrease their portion sizes, many of those that have not had to make those changes yet, will be forced to in the near future.
The rise in food and energy prices over the last year has led some Americans to change their eating habits — buying less meat, and switching to cheaper grocery stores, as well as cutting back on eating out. Cash-strapped families are increasingly searching for discounts and deals, including buying near-expired food that’s marked down in price.
Below we will go through some recent food news, tips for saving as the cost of food continues to rise, and showing why in some cases, making changes such as baking your own bread, making your own flour, and growing your own vegetables indoors, year-round, should be permanent changes.
During a time of systematic, 'big tech' censorship and widespread institutional corruption, truth-seeking media and alternative views are crucial, and EVERY little bit helps more than you could know!)
FOOD NEWS......................
The foods listed above, eggs, butter, and bread, and flour, are only the tip of the iceberg regarding continuing increases in food costs.
The website A Taste of Home offers more consumables seeing rising inflation, along with some tips on saving money. Those other items include deli meats, hot dogs, candy, coffee, and rice, are just a few to add to the growing list.
For those that keep thinking "this has got to end," unfortunately there is no end in sight as of now. While each month we hear predictions from Biden-friendly sources about how everything is getting better, some outlets are finally beginning to acknowledge that we will be seeing more price hikes, and further food shortages well into 2023.
We'd love nothing more than to declare that bountiful (and affordable) food products await us in 2023. But the reality of the global situation dictates pragmatism rather than heedless optimism. While there's no guarantee any potential issues will come to pass, the available evidence provides clues on what to expect. With that in mind, here's what we know about the food shortages that may happen in 2023.
Many of the items listed are the same as what we have already been seeing inflation hit, but now we are seeing projected shortages on the horizon once again as well.
Those items are: Bread, vegetable oil, corn, butter, Hershey candy, tomatoes, flour, beef, canned good, beer and produce.
Before moving along, let us start with what we continue to see mentioned prominently in almost every food news related reports published recently.
Because the price of boxed breads & other boxed flour products, such as cake mixes are not only listed in the massively higher-than-average inflation, but also as projected shortages in 2023, we'll start with flour.
Not store bought, but milled yourself, to be used to make cakes, pastries, breads and pastas, and many other products.
Making your own breads, pastas, pastries, cakes and other flour-based foods, not only makes you less dependent on the grocery store and global conditions, but homemade always tastes better, and there are a number of benefits other than cost and availability.
First and foremost, it will cost less. Not for one loaf, but make your own flour-based products for just a month or two and you have paid for your supplies, and everything else is just icing on the homemade cake!
Guaranteed freshness, as you make your foods as you need them. No preservatives added to keep the consumables fresh. You customize your ingredients to make your own flavors, ad fruits, nuts, whatever your taste buds desire that day. The products stay fresher for longer.
Next up is produce. This is something we have been keeping an eye on, farmers are now paying massively more from planting to harvest, meaning the prices keep rising. According to reports, harvests are going to be much smaller on items like lettuce, corn, tomatoes, and other fruits and vegetables are expected to see the same types of issues as well.
The books listed below are for indoor gardening. Foods that can only be grown in certain conditions outdoors can be grown inside with the proper knowledge, year round. For those in cold climates, indoor growing can save significantly on your grocery bill.
First we'll discuss shrinkflation, which is happening with more and more products, as shown above. Shrinkflation is where the product size decreases, while paying the same price. It is inflation, but less noticeable to the consumer.
Consumers note when prices go up, but they often don't notice of there are 20 less chips in a bag, if a product is just slightly thinner or shorter, so they aren't as aware of paying more for less as with rising prices.
Here are just a few examples offered over at the website FingerLakes1, listed with the percent size reduction from the original.
Crest Toothpaste: 7%
Cottonelle: 8%
Charmin: 8%
Chobani: 15%
Dove body wash: 8%
Folger: 15%
M&M Keebler cookies: 14%
Gain detergent: 7%
GM Cereals: 5%
Safeguard soap: 20%
Strawberry Quaker Oats: 20%
Sun-Maid Raisins: 11%
Tostitos hint of lime chips: 15%
Granted, unless you bring an old package to the store, you may not notice the difference, so research is the next tip for saving money.
Look up "shrinkage" and "list of products," and many websites provide lists of products and entire companies that are doing it.
Then, choose other brands. I know many of us get spoiled to a specific brand, but trying others that are lower in price for the same amount of product you used to get, until you find one you like just as much, can save more than you think.
The way you cook can also be quite cost efficient. For example, cooking a whole chicken for a meal, then using the leftovers in soups, stews, salads, casseroles, etc....each of which can feed you multiple meals.
Buy in bulk when you can. Things like paper products, paper towels and toilet paper, soap, toothpaste and so much more.
Items that will not go bad and will always get used.
Another money saving tip is to buy generic brands when possible. Most of them have the same ingredients, they just cost less because some buy by brand, where the additional costs are simply to have that brand name, not quality or quantity.
ANP readers are always so great in helping each other, sharing resources, tips, tricks, links and videos, so we ask everyone to share their cost saving tips to help each other out as inflation worsens and food shortages become more prevalent.
BOTTOM LINE
Americans are resilient, but we have been hit with crisis after crisis, all of which affecting the food supply chain as well as Biden's policies spiking inflation to the point where millions of Americans are having trouble putting food on the table.
Many Americans, even preppers, can't help but to think, "this has got to get better," yet it continues to get worse. Save where you can, buy in bulk, use freeze dried foods for casseroles, stews, salads, soups and other meals, pick generic brands and when cooking meals with meat and sides, use a large piece of meat so it can be used in at least another meal.
FOOD LINKS.................
Freeze dried and powdered foods last longer after opened, can be used just a little at a time, and can help you survive "Bidenflation."
