The die hard ones have actually built "bunkers" in various forms all across our country.
Other die hard ones are teaching their kids to eat insects, worms, etc. in case of food shortages. end of quote" )
OH Senior...I had the same thought in mind when I taught my children to eat carrots, broccoli, spinach, kohrabi, green beans...aka anything on THEIR PLATE...
Thank God we have lived all this time and they are still eating that stuff...it makes ME feel better.
That is what MY parents made me do.
I bet those parents who are doing all that bug eating teaching stuff didn't work on the kids vegetables. I just BET...don't you?
We have to have all kinds of conspiracy theories to get us through.
I have found that ordinary life brings enough drama for most of us.

I wouldn't be raising nor harvesting insects and worms to consume, that's for sure............I was just saying what one of the families on the weekly show did to "prepare" for whatever they thought was coming.
My personal opinion, not to offend anyone, was that they were all beyond eccentric. But keeping water and other necessities on hand is smart.
Years ago, we thought we should get the largest RV and equip it, just in case our nice little town was in danger (this was after 911) and all the city people were flocking up here to get away from the city....but then I said, "Where would we get gasoline?" Eventually, the RV would run out of gas..........even if we got across the border and up to Quebec or the other way to New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. So, thankfully no need.
We sleep very well at night. Sorry, I have no good wiggly insect recipe for you.
