During the pandemic they did everything they could to shutdown restaurants, special eateries, and pubs. First they limited the amount of people you can have in, then they closed all the dining areas for take out only
They slowly rolled out progressively silly regulations that created an environment where the only places that could function were fast food. primarily ones like mcdonalds with drive thrus. 60%+ of customers already use the drive thru more
they did the same thing with groceries stores. I watched people have to stand out side with elderly and kids for 30 mins to an hour in -20 weather just to get into a store. this has forced people to use the stupid "curb side pick up" that they conveniently intudunced around the same time.
they will use this up coming food shortage to usher in a new age with no grocies stores, there gonna phase them out (along with dine in restaurants) and create this environment where the largest fast food restaurants that have drive thru/delivery become the only way to get food.
the first wave killed restaurants, this wave with kill groceries stores, this is how they will take control of food distribution.
once they have control they will phase out meat for "alternatives" and GMO garbage. one day very soon we might all just wake up with empty fridges and empty store shelves with our only option to eat is large corporate soup kitchens called Mcdonalds and Burger King.
anyone got any good resources on home gardening?
I've been gardening my entire adult life (several decades) and it's always stuck me as odd that more people don't have at least a single tomato plant. I bet if most people grew at least a few veggies, the rates of depression and obesity would plummet. Everyone should grow something, no matter how small. Eating and sharing food you grew yourself is one of the most rewarding things a human can do.
We've been conditioned as a society to value convenience over everything--- If people aren't in control of their own food supply, they're very easy to control (and as you said- less healthy, which also makes them life-long customers for "health" care).
When I bit into the first cucumber I grew myself several years ago, I was dumfounded that it tasted so flavorful & full of life. Grocery store produce is crunchy tap water at best.
Yes! Nothing in the stores will taste as good or last as long as the produce you grow yourself!
