FULL ACRE CRISIS GARDEN!

[defrog]

You’ll need one when the Obamapocalypse comes. That’s why you need to send $149 to the Survival Seed Bank.

As seen on Glenn Beck.

Here’s why you need a Crisis Garden:

You don't have to be an Old Testament prophet to see what's going on all around us. A belligerent lower class demanding handouts. A rapidly diminishing middle class crippled by police state bureaucracy. An aloof, ruling elite that has introduced us to an emerging totalitarianism which seeks control over every aspect of our lives.

As the meltdown progresses, one of the first things to be affected will be our nation's food supply. Expect soaring prices along with moderate to severe shortages by spring. If you don't have the ability to grow your own food next year, your life may be in danger. Supply lines for food distribution in this country are about three days, meaning a dependence on "just in time" distribution systems, which will leave store shelves empty in the event of even the smallest crisis.

The whole spiel is worth reading – it’s a masterpiece of paranoid apocalyptic fantasy marketing, especially the part that explains that if you wait for the Food Apocalypse before buying these seeds, it’s probably already too late.

Not that I’m against growing yr own food (especially now that doing so is apparently a political statement whether you intended it to be or not).

Still, it occurs to me that when the Food Apocalypse comes, cityfolk will be totally screwed.

Except Detroit.

Ironically.

(Nothing but) flowers,

This is dF

See, the problem with that logic is that I am a carnivore.

If you're a meat eater and there's no food to be had, the city is the perfect place to be.

Instead of seeds, I shall be purchasing meathooks.
