Why I'm not a Doomer on food

Re: 15 Food Companies That Serve You 'Wood'

For years now I've been annoyed that the chicken I buy contains "... up to 15% broth".
That's two-and-a-half ounces of water in every pound of chicken I buy.

I want to know what happened to chicken eggs. I've been spoiled where we have our own chickens but I went to my Mom's house and I swear, large eggs have shrunk in size. My Mom was complaining about it too.

I will never forget the East Coast black out and how many things I took for granted. Luckily, we has taken out cash the day before because all the ATM's were shut down. The grocery stores were shut for a day and when they reopened, they smelled like rotting meat and milk gone bad. My husband and I ended up surving on chips and granola bars for the next two days. Empty store shelves are an intimidating site.

I think the most notable lesson of the recent snowstorm related power outages was that in Connectitcut - the sanitary sewer systems were backing up back into peoples homes. That is a potential health issue that no amount of stored food, water, or energy can easily remedy!

In places like Russia and Asia, many people won't buy frozen products because it is too easy to stick ice onto the food to increase 'weight'.

Be glad at least here this practice thus far is documented.
