(We say you are just full of Common Sense!)
Do you have Auto Insurance? Of course you do. Health insurance? Most people do. What about Food Insurance? “Food Insurance”? you ask. Yes!
Food Insurance! And if not, why
not??
The majority of people have, at
most, 1-3 days of food in their cupboards/fridge because they stop off at the
grocery store several times a week. But
now, no matter where you live in the US, you have most likely seen wicked bad
hurricanes wipe out roadways, homes, businesses and the ability for those
grocery stores to re-open or get re-supplied for weeks. You’ve seen Snowmageddon in many places across
the country. And flooding, more flooding
in more places than I can remember seeing.
And extended power outages. And
grocery store shelves empty of everything except the occasional jar of mustard
or tin of anchovies (yum!)
So maybe you can see
the sensibility of having a few extra cans of soup, and jars of peanut
butter. But what about food shortages
that are non-nature related. Do you
follow world economics? The Euro, the
Yen, the not-so-almighty Dollar? The
relations between China and the US? The
US and the Middle East? The US and
terrorist factions around the world? Did
you see the rioting in Venezuela caused by hyperinflation making what little
food was available be unaffordable for the common person? Or non-existent? Think hyperinflation can’t happen here in the
good ol’ US of A?
