were one of those places where gas is cheaper than milk. my sister's family are actually talking about getting a few cows.

A sensible idea. If you have the room for it, like a sizable grass field that you're not planning to use, a few cattle like cows or chickens are great. Either/or a vegetable garden. Every summer we make really good apple sauce with the few apple trees we have, some crops help a lot too. For year round stuff, either a year round garden or lots of stored food, preferably good quality.

Saves needing to go cannibalist for a while

i think they got the space for it. they have a sizable lot out in the sticks, with a large grassy field. i think its enough room for a small herd. they already have one decent sized garden. besides that there is an ample supply of venison and good fishing spots all over. good place to go after i bomb the **** out of everyone with nukes.

A gallon of milk costs the equivalent of a gallon of gas in many places. Of course, this is probably more a symptom of distribution cost than anything.

I always thought the comparison of food price to the price of a gallon of gas to be apples to combustion. Why is this phenomenal for others? I don't know. Petroleum is one hell of an important commodity compared to that of the very different nature and value of food.

There will always be food, and there will always be those starving. There may not always be petroleum.

I think that the comparison is based on the standard value of the dollar, and both items are an equal necessity to our modern life, especially in America today.

Goats may be an better idea, they are tough and easy to care for.

I see what you're getting at.

Is that a dangerous assumption!

he didn't say enough food.

Food is a renewable resource. This is why i say there will always be food (unless we destroy all vegetation on earth, then you can say food will probably come to an end). But yes, i did say there will always still be those starving (i don't think there's much escaping this if at all).

Goats are destroying the world via their flatulence. Cows are more efficient on that point, but still pretty bad.

id hate to live in a society that outlaws beef to protect the environment. thats going way to far. id rather cook to death in a runaway greenhouse environment than do without beef.
