I know that wasn't the focal point of your article, it was merely the only point I wanted to discuss. I just haven't come to any conclusive conclusion of your or any other number of articles written based on future doom and gloom of our food supply. I am sure there are many who couldn't grow a dandelion if they tried but I have a rather good green thumb for growing things, how to preserve those things for winter is a bit lacking but up until now I hadn't really seen a need to acquire those skills. My reasoning for doing so now isn't so much based on the gloom and doom stuff I read but more so from the effects of taking this country down the globalization rabbit hole. I don't see real progress and change forthcoming as easily as I thought it would when people started to rise up against it...for me personally I believe this virus was a deliberate release in response to people taking a stance...now that's some scary stuff that can get people moving to think if we are forced to stay on the same track of have nothing then learning and teaching my kids to can before I pass from this earth may prove to be one of the most vital skills I've ever taught them. Right now though even thinking, reading, commenting on doom and gloom has me worn out...what has transpired this year so far is about as much as I want to encounter right now.
