STARVATION?

“Eating Oil” was the title of a book which was published in 1978 following the first oil crisis in 1973 (1). The aim of the book was to investigate the extent to which food supply in industrialised countries relied on fossil fuels. In the summer of 2000 the degree of dependence on oil in the UK food system was demonstrated once again when protestors blockaded oil refineries and fuel distribution depots. The fuel crises disrupted the distribution of food and industry leaders warned that their stores would be out of food within days. The lessons of 1973 have not been heeded.

Today the food system is even more reliant on cheap crude oil. Virtually all of the processes in the modern food system are now dependent upon this finite resource, which is nearing its depletion phase.

NOTHING.

yeah people are going to be really fucked when the shit hits the fan but atleast it will hopefully fix our population problem.

Right. Grow your own. It's not that hard. Or get to know your farmer's market, and local chickens, goats, etc.

You'll be swept up by the desperate starving masses unless your whole foods scam takes off and you're elevated to the elite as an "old boy" specializing in fraud.
