  2.  @gwestcot  YES! Potatoes are the only thing realistically that people should be concentrating on growing.

  3. That's roughly 70% of the required calories and we have lots of other food, mainly corn. The US should be fine

  4. Today, America would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order. Tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told that there were an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will plead to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well-being granted to them by the World Government Henry A. Kissinger

  5. Gardens cannot supply sufficient calories to stay alive. You need to have a store of grains. Gespacho is to relieve the boredom of eating rice and only all day, every day.

  6.  @horseradishpower9947  It takes a lot of effort to get to even 10% of calories. If you were going to try doing it with tomatoes, that would be 10 tomatoes per day....EVERY DAY. You're talking hundreds of plants. The amount of effort to get to 10% might be better spent on purchasing grains for calories. One year of calories is on the order of $400-$500. That's about 70 hours of minimum wage effort. Not even close to the amount of effort required to grow 300 tomato plants to harvest, not to mention the preservation. Brochette is a nice addition to a bread only diet though.

  7.  @horseradishpower9947  You can also eat animal food and seed like corn and oats. Buy a 50lb bag of lime from home depot to nixtamalize corn and make tortillas. Better than starving

  8.  @carmenortiz5294  Yeah, corn is up 78% from maybe start of 2020. Just saying that it's a viable fall back option before you eat your dog.

  9.  @carmenortiz5294  What garden vegetables beside potato can provide enough calories? Grass will work, but you need chickens to make it edible :) Tomatoes are 20 calories each. You'd need to eat 100/day. And an equivalent amount of cucumber, squash, spinach. onion or parsley. Only 16 ears of corn, but at this point is it really considered a garden? Veggies are not calorie dense food

  10.  @rnupnorthbrrrsm6123  I have a garden and I'm not trying to discourage people only be realistic about what you can do. Even when I had a much larger garden than now and ate a much larger percentage from the garden, it was still only a relatively small portion of calories. Most of the calories from my yard is from chickens and fruit trees. I can't grow potatoes in my area, the dirt is too heavy and compacted

  11.  @danielben-avraham1539  I kinda have 2 levels of food storage. The first is general foods I eat everyday extra heavy on the rice and the madmax level that I'll probably get cancer and die in 5 years from eating, but at least I won't be hungry.🤣😂

  12.  @danielben-avraham1539  I think sweet potato is on of the only foods that you can live 100% from and not require anything else,

  13.  @carmenortiz5294  Should be 'eat'. Yes, I had two years of food purchased in Jan '20 at the beginning of cv

  14.  @danielben-avraham1539  It's good for vitamins and stuff, but people can go for years without vitamins. not healthg, but you're not going to instantly die. Calories are the most important, and it does not matter as long as they're digestible. Carbohydrate calories are ~2000 cal per pound of dry mass, lettuce or bean

  15.  @SirenaSpades  If this were the case, then all we need to do to prepare is to horde bottles of multivitamins

  16.  @test5095  Depending on your required comfort leven, it is iuncredibly inexpensiuve to live. At least in the US

  17.  @thwinslow7309  I know the difference, but it's a close substitute as long as people have confidence in it

  18. I did the same thing, but it is very hard, especially as you get older. And super especially if you don't have gas or electricity.

  19. $5 a loaf near my house yesterday. I remember asking my grandmother in the 70's if bread could ever be $100 a loaf. I was very young but always remembered the prices on everything and noting the increase in the price of bread from $0.29 to $0.39 really worried me a lot because I estimated that someday we would not have enough money for food. I was a nerdy kid.

  20. Even in the 70's I was told to eat my peas because there were starving children in China. In the 80's it switched to Africa, Ethiopia and Live Aid.

  21. You dig a hole, you put a seed in, you put dirt on top, you add water, up comes corn.
