'After two years of continued interruptions in food production, global food supplies have gotten really tight. But now that extreme weather events are leading to the mass destruction of crops and the liquidation of beef cow herds, while a bird flu pandemic is resulting in the depopulation of millions of egg-laying chickens, food supplies are set to get even tighter. And when people start realizing that massive shortages are emerging everywhere, it’s safe to say that things are going to get a lot crazier. When even the UN starts using the word “biblical” to describe the famine that the world is facing, that is a sign that the hour is very late. Right now, food prices are aggressively shooting higher, but given that the Federal Reserve is still scrambling to contain inflation growth, this is about as low as food prices are going to get for the foreseeable future, and that is going to have very serious implications during the times that are ahead. We still have a window of opportunity before the next wave of trouble comes along, and in this video, we’re going to show you why you should use this window of opportunity to buy lots of food and store it some place safe. This summer, millions of children are experiencing food insecurity because they can’t have access to school meals. Mia Medina, program manager at No Kid Hungry Texas, a national campaign aimed at ending childhood hunger, says that schools are often the front lines for food-insecure children: “During the school year, kids can rely on school meal programs like breakfast, lunch and after-school meals, but when school is out, many of those meals disappear,” Medina said. “Summer is the hungriest time for a lot of our kids and teens. That means they miss out on a lot of the consistent nutrition that they’re used to or that their families have to stretch their budgets even further than they anticipated.” Right now, an estimated 38.3 million individuals in the United States are living in a household that is defined as food insecure. All over the country, food banks are making every effort to meet the higher demand due to decreased donations, supply chain delays, and inflation. People can stay in line for up to six hours to be able to get a box filled with fresh produce, cereals, and non-perishables. This is the reality of what we are currently facing. So many Americans are already in desperate need, and this “perfect storm” is just getting started. The United Nations is using the word “biblical” to describe the famine and starvation that are coming all around the world. Recent projections released by the UN’s World Food Programme predicted that the number of people facing “acute food insecurity” stood to rise to 265 million by the end of this year, up from 135 million a year ago. That would mean an additional 130 million people were “living on the edge of starvation,” largely due to the worsening global economic conditions, with wages, supply chains, and production under pressure all around the world. Most Americans still want to believe that the future is going to be peaceful and prosperous, and so they see absolutely no need to prepare for the turbulent times that are approaching. But we must take care of ourselves because no one else will and getting ready in advance is going to be crucial to survive the challenging times that are ahead of us. Act while you can because when the window of opportunity closes, there will be nothing left to do.
