Gas prices in the UK could trigger food shortages in weeks
Food shortages could be permanent, industry body warns
European Union meets, discusses price controls on energy
The official story is that this is all somehow connected to the COVID pandemic, blah blah. Or perhaps to Russia? On the alt right, the story is that green energy doesn´t work. Which may or may not be true.
Of course, a more sobering scenario could be that *real resources are getting scarce*, as suggested by John Michael Greer in a blog post I linked to last week ("The Negative-Sum Economy").
Regardless, the crisis is far from over, in the unlikely case you assumed so...
Unless it´s just another media panic. I mean, that´s not *entirely* ruled out either. Remember when they claimed UK would be hit by a famine in the event of Brexit? Didn´t happen. The present panic over food shortages is about other things entirely!
Better buy large quantities of vegetable oil and sugar before the price sky rocket. Ad to that lots of protein supplement powder, not the usual stuff with wey protein, it spoils to fast, but the stuff vegan body builders use. Add a bunch of multi vitamin pills to that and a water filter and you are good to go.
ReplyDeleteIt wont be a healthy diet but you have all Three macros covered and the multi vitamin Will åt least keep away life threatening deficiences of any micro nutrients.
And you can get all the macros without any cooking with the Three ingrgidients mentioned.
