Funny that WalMart didn't require any ration stamps when I bought groceries last night.

Could the threat of food rationing be a ploy to get people to buy up all those mountains of surplus corn they have piled on the ground out there in Iowa and empty some of silos so they will have room to pile this years crops???

hehghe - could be. of course as one that keeps my finger on the pulse of farming as I can (My wifes family has a farm) - I understand that this years "beans (soy)" is wheat, and that there had been a wheat shortage and the prices have skyrocketed, so many farmers are switching their alternate crops to wheat (instead of soybeans). normally the corn/beans alternate as they exchange the soil with "opposite" fertilization - not sure of the ramifications of the nitrogen content in the soil will be for wheat vs beans, though.

I don't believe most of the hype that news-tellers generate with their stories. We know most of them have agendas that bad news like food rationing satisifies. BUT, with oil prices going through the roof, the cost of food going with it, is there any wonder that nations in already bad straits in terms of food and money will suffer more? No wonder at all.
I'm in favor of using our resources to keep our own prices down. Our oil. Our food. Quit paying people to idle their land and give them tax breaks for producing food crops and delivering them to market.

Well, I'm certainly glad that a man this stupid is using birth control. Unfortunately he has spread his defective mental genes on to 5 children already.

Sadly.. Nobody will have to worry about food as we can't afford the gas to get to the supermarket. We're all doomed.

Karen if you are going to post this stuff why not add something to it, like your point of the post. It seems you keep posting these "doom and gloom" articles with no thought, i dont get it.

2Ti 1:6 Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.
2Ti 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
2Ti 1:8 ΒΆ Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;
Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethern, whatever is true,whatever is honorable,what ever is right,whateverislovely,whateveris of good repute, if there is anything worthy of praise, let your mind dwell on these things.
