    Already largely accomplished by the time wwII started. Tremendously more horrors accomplished since then.
    All foretold thousands of years ago, just as it is happening this last hundred years.

    "It appears we’re in a phase where global systems of food and energy production are being intentionally dismantled in an effort to force into effect what the World Economic Forum (WEF) calls The Great Reset and the Rockefeller Foundation calls Reset the Table  Controlling food and shifting us away from a natural diet is an important part of The Great Reset. While the destruction of food production is being justified by the Green Agenda, the real goal is to eliminate naturally-grown foods and replace them with patented foodstuffs, frequently synthetic"

    I want to be prepared and don't want to live in major fear of no foods.... Many talk about beans and
    a person who has issues with walking and OA issues brought up keeping Popcorn on hand to pop and have enough OILS too, keep things unopened as long as one can. Popcorn is high in nutrition and I know
    that to a degree but it's more than I realized. I pop my own in a pot....no micro stuff.

    I'm about to pop a small amount now as I know how good it is for us. j m

    I didn't know that. I'm going to stock up on popcorn to go with my dry beans and rice.

    What we call popcorn was called "parched corn" in colonial days. It didn't pop up nice and fluffy like our fancy stuff does now, but it was a survival food. How about some pemmican with that?

    I think the prepper movement has re-introduced parched corn, which looks pretty much the same as corn nuts. When I was a kid, my dad put field corn into the oven and roasted it in the shucks; he called that "parched corn" but it's nothing like the stuff I see on google. :D:D

    Beans aren't very sociable but they do have lots of vitamin's and some protein. We canned lots last couple years and have more to can. I also use to buy 25lb.s of carrots to can but not up to it at the time.We use propane for cooking and tank is full.

    Popcorn does have some vital nutrients, but it's not gonna give you a lot of calories.

    This is the nutrient content of a 100-gram (3.5-oz) serving of air-popped popcorn (5):
    • Vitamin B1 (Thiamin): 7% of the RDI.
    • Vitamin B3 (Niacin): 12% of the RDI.
    • Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine): 8% of the RDI.
    • Iron: 18% of the RDI.
    • Magnesium: 36% of the RDI.
    • Phosphorus: 36% of the RDI.
    • Potassium: 9% of the RDI.
    • Zinc: 21% of the RDI.
    • Copper: 13% of the RDI.
    • Manganese: 56% of the RDI.
    This is coming with a total of 387 calories, 13 grams of protein, 78 grams of carbs and 5 grams of fat.

    I got my info from Towsends if you have ever watched them. They said travelers simply dried the corn and removed it from the cob, then "popped" it in a dry skillet to make it edible without cooking.in water to soften.

    The best thing about corn to me is on the cob or meal for cornbread and hushpuppies. I liked popcorn too of course.

    Somehow I don't think I'll be stocking up on popcorn. I'd rather have a bowl of soup or something; popcorn is just a snack food.

    I don't know. It might be the only decent source of fiber.

    I hesitate to stock up on it unless I can store a like-kind amount of butter.

    I guess it all depends on how hungry you are. Maybe cockroach butter will be on the menu?;)

    Boy I sure HOPE all this Fear we are being fed, is for NOT. I wonder if MSM talks
    about food shortages, since I do not watch tv, I'm wondering about that.

    I got a mortar & pestle. I'm envisioning a post-Apocalyptic version of Hungry Hippos.
