Does it seem like there is a major food crisis in the US right now?

posted 6 months ago

Food bank only had raisins. My food stamps were cut by two thirds. Inflation is way up. Specific shortages. I asked some people around me and they’re also struggling. No emergency announcements. Feels like a cover up. I heard US shale oil is peaking. All this and I live in the central valley of California, ag central. I should have food easily, instead it’s a struggle.

Oh cheer up already. All you have to do is guess who the king is. Really making a big deal out of this.

There is a broader crisis at work you should really be aware of. Watch ‘Collapse’. It’s a great documentary centered on the work of sustainability activist Michael Ruppert that gets into this.
