Are Food Riots Possible?

I thought this article posted over at rense.com might be of interest:

US Food Riots Much Closer Than You Think

(Note: Beware of some flaky ads at this site.)

We have some great looking tomato plants in, now, and we will soon have some beans in. My wife ordered cow pea seeds, because we can eat the beans & the vines are supposed to be as nutritious as grain for the goats. The Jerusalem Artichokes look good this year, and so do the fruit trees (should have a great crop of figs).

We have plenty of canning jars & are stocking up on lids. Also, there's the food dryer which provided us with dried apples through the winter. We plan to keep that going day & night, once the produce starts coming in.

Are you preparing?
