I have been on the road and spending time in airport waiting areas. It gives me a chance to do some people watching in between reading and writing. I am thinking that a bit of a food shortage might not be a bad thing. People seem to have been supersizing it quite a bit.
Being overweight is not always a result of just eating too much but also of eating the wrong things. If we are suddenly snookered by a combination of shortages and soaring prices, the foods we choose will probably change. I was thinking about my diet. I start the day with oatmeal and have significant portions of popcorn during the day. That is not a bad thing. Those food items are relatively cheap and have decent nutrition with reasonable calories. It is the quest for protein that will be the issue.
Meat will be expensive. What I eat has already gone up significantly but so far I can afford my preferences. If I am forced to go to things like beans and rice for protein the calories climb quickly. The result, of course will be growing obesity in my life. That could lead to a return of my diabetes and all the problems that go with too much weight.
Start checking out what might be substituted and begin to buy a bit extra every week. Don’t worry, it won’t make you a crazy prepper. It will make you a careful provider.
Pray that the harvests will be great both spiritual and agricultural.
