my missus for a period of time cooked a tonne of rice dishes which was ok at first, but after a few months of that, rice is no longer welcome in this house hold. lol,
I have no idea how Asians can eat that shit daily, even a cooked sewer rat sounds more appetizing than a life time of rice as a SHTF scenario. ahaha
although Im sure there are plenty of asians who would have their sewer rat as a complimenting dish to their rice lol

that doesn’t sound authentic at all. More like boiled sewer rat placentas with a side of unhatched chicken still in the shell.
 
When Covid19 first hit our area, there were breakdowns in supply chain distribution for just about everything in the grocery stores. On top of that, meat processing here in the USA is bottlenecked at a few mega processing facilities and when workers got sick, production halted (farmers were shooting/gassing their animals - https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/14/business/coronavirus-farmers-killing-pigs.html ). We didn't quite get a full on food shortage, but stores were rationing many staples (meats, grains, beans, etc.). It's not a terrible idea to invest in a stash of shelf stable food items to weather a worst case food supply crisis. With good packing techniques, many staples can be shelf stable for years.

Please don't get sucked into sgbuyer idiocy, buying 1 year worth of rice living in Singapore, he likely doesn't even own a gun lol

If/when the food shortages worsen, would you still refer to sgbuyer’s preparedness as idiocy?

If Sgbuyer was living in Afganistan/Perth/Sydney ie in a"dry country"... it is "maybe" a good call but in Singapore lol.

Plus chances are the rice are in hessian bags to let the rice breathe in 20 or 25kg bags common in Asian countries..... and unlike Sydney or Perth it will root if not stored correctly ie humidity

And if a crisis did occure where a person needs one year worth of rice stored in Singapore to survive, they would require electrity to run AC or store the rice in humidity controlled enviroment.

So what kind of crisis will entail that the person gets electrity but can't get rice for a year in Singapore.

Besides I am presuming Sgbuyer is just exaggerating

In Singapore, the rice suppliers are required by law to have minimum stocks in their storage facilities, or will get fined
so overstocks does not make sense for individuals, all need to be done, is just to top up consumed amounts regularly
 
If covid was as deadly as Ebola then yes, you wouldn’t even want to go outside to collect your rations

It's because I used the example of rice, which is funny. :D

It's not as deadly as ebola, but it's definitely a spanner thrown at you. What better way to incapacitate your competition? The only issue is whether there will be a blow back once your competitor has herd immunity. So what will you do then? Continue to hide like a tortoise while the rest of the world has opened up?

About six in 10 people living in some of Mumbai’s biggest slums have antibodies for the novel coronavirus, a study shows

A study done July, old news, but 2 months on, probably 100% have got antibodies. Corona virus don't have much effects on the slum dwellers apparently.

At this rate, the whole of India will have herd immunity before the end of the year. Mumbai itself probably in another 2 months.
 
hunger would kill them first due to shutdown
before the virus reached them

I don’t give a flying F about contracting corona FYI. Probably had it already.
 
It means that Australia has fallen into recession for the first time in nearly 30 years, according to a report by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.

Famine is coming. I've stocked up on 1 year's supply of rice and half a year's supply of milk. Ever since I had to overpay for masks, I'm not going to make the same mistake again.

Famine in Singapore?

It's easier to imagine, since there's not much agriculture there.
Prolly less likely to happen in Europe.

As for milk: that's either UHT or contains preservatives, because 100% natural milk wouldn't resist 6 months.

You must have a lot of space.

No famine in Singapore, small population, very easy to secure the supplies, except, it may cost more in the future. The people here also don't eat much. One serving in US can feed 2 persons here, 1 serving in China can feed 1.5 persons.

Europe won't have an issue. The food in europe is very cheap.
