Totally Bruh! Been prepping my whole life for this moment. My time to shine!

Fatso will be a scapegoat, I fear. Wouldn't want to be the rich white guy who was also fat.

I'd say there are far more poor fat people than rich. At least in the US.

Absolutely, some told me it was a 'Joo" plot, but what the hell, fried chicken at 10:30PM, why not?

After all, it is the APOCALYPSE.

He also covers more "Mil's" in a target scope.

(When using an optic with Mil’s, short for milliradians, the optics crosshairs will move 3.6 inches at 100 yards with one full Mil of adjustment.)

Red dots are usually measured in minutes of arc.

Yes they are, I actually preferred my older 4 MOA dots, easier for figuring drop, but I've moved on to the M4s comfortably.

Preach!

It will be a clue that you have food hidden.

Fatso will be still scared to go out in public.

Animal fat is absolutely what we should be eating, followed by olive and nut oils. Seed oils are for the birds, literally. Read Deep Nutrition for what they do to you biochemically--you will never eat them again. ALL the canola oil can drop off the face of the earth--those canola farmers can plant prairie and run cattle or bison.

North Dakota, specially the farming area, is experiencing massive floods.

"Upper Midwest farmers are running out of time as prevent plant dates could soon be triggered. North Dakota's first prevent plant date is May 25th for certain parts of the state -- this will mean farmers will file a prevented planting claim on their crop insurance and not plant."

The Red River is expected to crest below the flood control system in Grand Forks, but, yeah, the farmland to the north and south will be under water. All of that will flow north into Manitoba. I lived there 25 years ago during the epic flood. Downtown burned, and firefighters could not get there. A late blizzard knocked down thousands of utility poles on flooded land, and crews could not access them for repairs. Those were the good old days. I'd live through that again in a minute, if I could avoid what were living through now and what remains ahead.

I've been getting natural peanut butter & instead of stirring, pour the oil off the top. It fries potatoes to a beautiful, crispy brown on the outside. Also good for fried rice & any other fried things.

Here in Mexico I can get beef fat (grasa de res) for, I think it was, 20 pesos (one US dollar) a kilo or so, and a kilo rendered down to a liter of pure tallow, with enough tasty cracklings to last me a couple of days.

I don't know that it's going to take a full-on famine to stoke the flames of unrest in the first world, where everyone's already on edge and not used doing without for a day. Even the first world impoverished are not usually starving; many of them are obese (in the USA). They have access to calories from a variety of sources, but not necessarily good calories, or they can't or won't make good choices.

For some reason I can't like the article. I always get an error.

That said here is a big thumbs up on animal fat, especially lard. Good smoke point, neutral favor, high in saturated fats, and can in most cases be locally sourced. That said, I'm biased, we raised our own lard hogs on non-GMO feed and forest forage. We cook around 95% of our meals, and most involve frying in the cast iron skillet; a single full size lard hog will supply all our cooking oil needs for 1-2 years. (I wouldn't trust the hydrogenated stuff at the big box store though)
