Dangers of becoming complacent

[bigpaul]

we are generally too over populated in the UK to be self sufficient, in a SHTF situation we would only be able to feed about 25% of the population without imported food, oil, and pesticides and chemicals, and even that figure is debateable.
basically your population figures are about right even if you used a different calculation, I think a 97 or 98% mortality rate is about right given that most people havent got a clue about where their food comes from or how it is grown, most wouldnt recognise it in its natural form and most dont even know apples grow on trees, they think it comes ready shrink wrapped.
