#1 Buy a rifle and shotgun, some good basic fishing tackle, learn to use them, and grow as many of your own veggies as space and climate permit.

Healthier for you anyways.

#4 And tell me again why we need ag subsidies?

Of course the politicians don't notice since they don't buy their own food.

#7 I guess that's what happens when you inflate the currency in a global market. As Rev. Wright would say "The chickens (formerly $.98/lb, now $3.69/lb) are coming home to rooooost."
