A few weeks ago I began asking for the prices of romaine, whole milk, and ground beef over on Threads.

Tonight we’re discussing the American Food Pricing Project live at 6pm EST on Substack!
Two generous data analysts are helping me create a more official system to monitor the prices of some foods less conspicuous than the dastardly, obvious egg prices we’re all talking about.

We are facing potential famine. Not typically an alarmist, I’m an alarmist for food.
I’ll keep you company all day. Come and go as you please.
Fuck you, Donald Trump.

The focus must be their complete & immediate removal from our government now.
The focus must be less about blocking their efforts.
The focus must be removing 2 men from office.
Today.

I hope we can stop reacting to them and just focus on ousting them.
That’s the work. And the only way to stop them.

You need food.
I teach food. Everyday right now. 6pm-7ish EST. Sat & Sun 2-4: food guest stars.
Grow cucumbers from seed inside your apartment. Make a free tiny garden. Learn home-brewing.
Stretch food. Preserve food when you’ve got. All the things.
It’s free. Watch after too.

The famines of WWII
Of WWII’s warring powers only the Soviet Union suffered mass starvation, but as this column, part of a Vox debate on the economics of WWII, describes, it is a measure of the war’s global reach that 20 to 25 million civilians died of hunger or hunger-related diseases outside Europe. In Britain effective rationing ensured a ‘fair’ distribution of food supplies throughout the war and in Germany the famine conditions experienced in 1918-19 were not replicated, but Japan was facing semi-starvation at war’s end. In Europe, apart from Greece and the Soviet Union, famine mortality was modest, but 3-5% of the populations of faraway Bengal, Henan, and Java perished.
20-25 million people died of starvation.

Without hysteria: we are facing famine. Literally. Fucking with farms isn’t just about optics for him. It’s to empty the farms. I don’t want anyone to starve.
Knowing the basics of food autonomy could quite simply save your life. That’s why I’m doing it.

It’s time to speak plainly.
This is why I am teaching my daily live series about growing and making and preserving your food at 6pm EST. 2-4pm EST Saturday-Sunday.
Period.
Yes, community. Yes, purpose. Yes, distraction. Yes, laughter.
And.

Today on food live at 6pm we’re talking making an instant garden where there isn’t one for zero dollars or for the cost of some garden soil.
So for $0-$35 and about 2 hours work, start a satellite garden anywhere with some found logs, sticks, and soil.

Dems would get much more traction finding and promoting people saying what they know and experience.
What has more impact, This man speaking his mind or the Dems speaking “in unison “ ?
