Letter Re: The British Perspective on Food Storage and Preparedness
Dear Sir
The two articles linked below detail issues surrounding world food shortages
(and possible solutions) from a UK perspective.
I thought that they might be
of interest
to you. Certainly there is increasing concern here about rising food and drink
prices and its increasingly becoming part of the national conversation. It
seems there are now almost daily broadsheet newspaper articles on the subject
and I can categorically state that the UK is now experiencing similar trends
to the US, as identified by your readers. Although rationing has not
made the news yet, my father - who is a restaurateur - has discovered that
our five
large local wholesalers who sell exclusively to the catering industry have
run out of rice, cooking oil and other essential foodstuffs.
Families'
annual grocery bill rises by £800
and,
Food shortages: how will we feed the world?
Also, thank you for your wonderful web site. To be honest, I had not even
thought about survivalism when I first saw SurvivalBlog - I was just looking
for outdoor survival techniques for a bushcraft weekend. The more I have
read
the more convinced I am of the need for preparedness. I cannot afford a
retreat but your site has opened my eyes to the numerous other ways I can
keep my
family safe during any periods of potential unrest. It also gives me great
pleasure
to read about these issues from a Christian point of view. Although there
are many British Christians, it is sometimes difficult for us to be open
about
our faith. Our society is extremely tolerant of any and all faiths (as
it should be of course) but unfortunately our media and politicians frequently
marginalise
the very people that make this country democratic and free. God bless you
and thank you once again, - Paolo
