Food wars

[Tibbs735]

Imagine a world where we rely on other people to produce breathable air, bottle it and sell it to the masses. "But you don't need to breathe yourself, you can just go to the store and buy it." Food is as essential as oxygen; if you can't get it, you are living on borrowed time, just assuming someone else will be able to provide it for you.

As with any SHTF scenario, food riots will most likely not be an exciting overnight transition where you can just jump to Post-SHTF fantasy land. It will be a slow squeeze, as food is harder and harder to come by, and more people are reliant on food banks. It will be well known in the zeitgeist, with news articles, BBC new segments etc, but when it "Gets real" and people realize that they don't know where they will get their next meal, that's when it gets violent.

Maybe this winter, when people are cut off by the inevitable weather we will get a taste of what is to come.
