  2. Any mention of "food security" from the GS' plant-in-charge is a good reason to think about one's own food security.
    Famine futures market in the works? Or Cap-and-Trade -- now in food. It's no joke, such systems were a fact of life during war not so long ago. People had to register for a food allowance in form of "food cards". It was real money then.
