America is Actually Poised for Food Riots

The combination of a crippling national debt, unbalanced spending, a deep recession and a global food crisis are working together to bring Food Riots to America in 2012. It may sound unbelievable, but the facts are hard to ignore, as much as we'd like to.

The good news is that you can be prepared for the coming food shortage without spending a lot of money on expensive freeze dried foods or army MRE rations that you'll never use.

Don't Be Caught By Surprise

Food Riots Warning SignsThe first warning sign of a Food Riot is a major economic event. If a national bank holiday is declared because of the Global Financial Crisis, then the likelihood of a Food Riot is very high and you should stay away from stores.

The second way to stay safe from Food Riots is closely linked to the first - have enough food and supplies on hand at all times to enable you to wait out a food shortage so you are not tempted to make a trip to the store when the craziness breaks loose.
