Like the illusion of Wall Street, with its vast and powerful investment banks, now shuttered, China too is an illusion perpetuated by the Globalists that gave us the 15,000 mile Caesar salad, poisoned cat food and lead based paint on babies' pacifiers. Like the illusion that money would come from thin air to always push housing prices higher, China has spent a generation pursuing its illusion. Pursuing an unattainable dream to be like the West, while 6000 years of its carefully shepherded top soil blows into the sea.

Yep. Rather than be punished, she should have been given an award and put up as an example of what can be done. _________________ "That the cream cannot help but always rise up to the top, well I say, <censored by peakoil.com> floats"

this site is wasting time trying to figure out takes an hour to post messages the internet is always like this.
anyway I hear people growing vegies moving to farms etc. you are step ahead of me, I havent learnt how to grow veggies.
I have a few things to say, but I have to say that people can get insulted very easily when things that push their unconscious patterns of automatic behaviour (not you necessarily,
anyway I theorize I havent grown things. though common sense does work prevalution.
I think that when petrol gets very expensive, say at the end foodless people, will go to wherever food is growing, people will kill for food, just go to a bad neighbour hood and people rob you of money bullish.
so isolation will self suffiency, a small group community of people, outside driving distance from major population centres (esp when petrol price inhibitive). this way you can avoid, rogues who gang up with arms and hoard and take over farms and areas, like a mini serfdom.
think about it, wouldn't you take someone's food if you were starving? of course, we change when we are threatened. if this cant be conceptualised and if examples are needed there is plenty in cited bibliographical documentations. (
To just rely on a homestead a farm is scary to me. goats sheep can provide milk, cheese making skills are great. fat is very important when physically active, esp muscular strength, and farming requires that. our modern society is all false, we live artificial lives created. milk fat steak is bad because we sit in front of a computer all day. go trekking with a 30kg pack up a 45 degree slope in the thin air of the himalaya and this is not an issue. afterall you dont hear mountaineers suffering heartattacks from blocked arteries do you? and they eat crap, chocolate, anything. not just talking big time dead self punish either this is trend and mainstream, there's heaps of different people than commerical advertised categories.
I can tell you I did this in nepal and you just cant be a fat person as a result. it's hard natural. anyway fat is so scarce in the natural world, especially healthy lean animals. so I stress fat as in cheese that sinful world to our ears, eggs are also good. but if your isolated farm is decimated, hailstorms, pests, etc, you must know how to store heirloom seeds not hybrids they are crap. in thailand where my mother comes from there is lots of wild things still used. like some sort of relation to eggplant full of vitamins looks like a pest tree. this is wild and is growing on garbage depleted soils. these are the things you should look for.
also know how to make fishing tools naturally, lines will run out. the sea is a good place for protein flesh. gathering hunting skills are required. I tell I have to stress if the average person is told to survive now they wouldn't be able to catch a bird. even full of water drinking time. they would eat grass inedible, lack of carbs and still believe and say we wont starvet there's something to eat.
panic will set in and dread that I am dying, while from my eyes I can see the world around the nature trees the same as when I lived off fast food. nothing has changed only me lacking food. how alone we are. be responsible
cold climates are hard. generations of experience required. to develop methods etc. sub tropical would be better.
though we can eat anything when very aerobic and endurance farmwork, we still need good food. this will provide it
