| Yes, but too bad the way the idiot climate tyrants try to worm their way into any idea and pervert it. This is such a cold winter, anyone that still believes them is short some material upstairs. There will always be wild food growing too, but it takes ag production to make enough to go around comfortably, so if PHTF or the climate idiots shut down production and industry the wild stuff may be hard to come by. |
That's not a dollar, mate...THIS is a dollar.

| At least that level of food anxiety could never happen in Britain. Or could it? For years, the Government told us everything was fine. This was a land of plenty. Only four years ago, Gordon Brown's Treasury assured us that food security in Britain was not an issue because we were a rich country, and could buy food from wherever we chose, as if the world were our personal larder. Now, finally, as The Sunday Telegraph reported last week, the Government has woken up to the problem. A new report launched on Tuesday entitled Food 2030 gives a warning that Britain can no longer afford to be complacent. "We need to think differently about food," said Gordon Brown in his foreword to the report, produced by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra). Setting out a new food strategy for the next two decades, the report says that the industry needs to prepare for "sudden shocks" such as natural disasters or price spikes. Britain will need to produce more food, we are told, but will have to do so sustainably, "without damaging the air, soil, water and marine resources, biodiversity and climate that we all depend on |

| We must take government back from the idiots and criminals. They succeeded by taking over media and education and holding on for a couple of generations. How can we swing the pendulum back? |

| Don't economists frequently state that a demand for food will automatically cause a supply to appear? I guess they believe in magic. |
Not all who wander are lost. |

Ordinarily that's true. An increase in demand will cause prices to increase, which in turn will signal producers to (if possible)supply more product causing prices to level off or decrease. However, government policies which destroy wealth and steal profits will easily stiffle this increase and allow prices to remain high. This is why health care is far more expensive than it needs to be now. |
