Anonymous Coward User ID: 60673450 United States 08/19/2014 11:23 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Honey is really going up, where I'm at. I've been prepping it for 3 years, along with manuka honey. If you want to prep it, now is the time. It's going to get higher and higher. When I started, I could pick up a small thing of honey for $2.25. A week ago, it was up at $4.65 for the same size. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 41941507 United States 08/19/2014 02:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Is there a reliable place to send food aid that actually gets to people in Liberia? Is there a powdered food high in vitamin c that is not a laxative we could send in bulk? Would they even eat what we would send or do they reject it as inedible? I don't fucking know. If there's a place in the world (other than the river-fucking-ganges) where this awful strain of ebola is likely to mutate into something even worse its Liberia! |

See, crazy thing is, you already pay alot for your food in the US. Take the humble Oat. In the rest of the world, people who eat the oat. Not in the US. We take the oat and turn it into Something akin to candy. Then we break up the candy and turn it into cereal. THEN we take the Cereal and turn it into a "breakfast bar". Then we have marketing campaigns and huge businesses to compete over who gets to sell you the Breakfast bar. The Oat? The oat is cheap. Cheap as hell. It's maybe 10 cents of that box of breakfast bars. So when the base price for food triples in the US, it goes up 20 cents. Now, you triple the price of oat in other countries, they fuckin' starve. Because for them 20 cents is a day's wages. It's the only upside of our huge supply of overprocessed foods, we are already overpaying SO much for what is basically quadrupal processed oat that there is a whole lot of cushion in the advent the base supply of food is threatened. If you see something, say nothing, and drink to forget. Welcome to Night Vale. |
