On the surface, this could be a hysteria inducing story for an Alpha Strategist, the local county SWAT team raids a small family business and home and carts off food stuffs and leaves no paper work or inventory documenting their actions.
Could your larder be next?
Ewww...scary..scary...like FDR and Gold in 1933
But alas, nothing quite so dramatic:
"On Monday, December 1, a SWAT team with semi-automatic rifles entered the private home of the Stowers family in LaGrange, Ohio, herded the family onto the couches in the living room, and kept guns trained on parents, children, infants and toddlers, from approximately 11 AM to 8 PM. The team was aggressive and belligerent. The children were quite traumatized. At some point, the “bad cop” SWAT team was relieved by another team, a “good cop” team that tried to befriend the family. The Stowers family has run a very large, well-known food cooperative called Manna Storehouse http://www.mannastorehouse.com on the western side of the greater Cleveland area for many years"
Basically they sold or donated uninspected beef to a college, the beef was free of both steroids and the normal massive doses of anti biotics that some beef are currently injected with, which of course tipped Inspector Cleseau, who was denied membership in the Co-Op so he came back a week later with men armed with fully automatic weapons, bullet proof vests, and flash bang hand grenades...over a paperwork issue.

Spam..it's what's for dinner
A recent article mentioned that sales of the canned meat product Spam have shot up 10% since September.
Spam is sort of a platypus of food, and to be frank, relying on it for nutrition over the long haul is dubious, but that increase in sales when added with the increase in the sales of seeds for DIY food production, America clearly sees some hard times on the horizon.
It requires hundreds of pounds of food to feed a family of four, solid nutrition is actually inexpensive to purchase in bulk, foods such as Barley and Split Peas or even Oats are good values and available in bulk.
