Wait, food and food supply are crucial to our society?

So the store where most people get all of their essentials is essential to our way or life? Imagine that
We are soft and uneducated on how to grow, produce, and prepare our own food. Me included. I can hunt, but don’t know much about gardening or canning.

Absolutely. Its fragile because the people are fragile. If we had to do this lockdown without ONE comfort available (internet, electricity, stocked grocery etc) it would be WILD.

It’s basically the thread holding everything together now. If grocery stores and supermarkets started closing, then the shite will really hit the fan.
I never really thought much about it before or realized how fragile our society is.
I think this is a good example for people to see what socialism looks like. Empty shelves, limits on what you can and can't buy even if it is there, etc.
This is craziness to most of us. It's a very small glimpse into the reality of socialism. And, like you said, once government controls access to food, they control everyone. The power that comes with that is unlimited.
There are a ton of young people who are on this hip socialist bandwagon who really need to reconsider their stance.

Not only that but many people have no concept of just how large a garden it would take to actually give you self sustainability. Most don't have the land to even attempt it if they wanted to.

Funny you say that, because I had a conversation just last night discussing this issue of absurd dependence. I am a big fan of old movies, and was watching a silent movie from the 20’s a few nights ago on TCM, and it was about this poor lady in the city who was jealous of her next door neighbor who she said “had so much” because she had a small chicken coop in her back yard. That was quite common place back then to have chicken coops and gardens and the like, even in the city, as well as preserving and canning and curing meats Hell, even BR has a city ordinance still on the books which allows you to keep a certain number of chickens in your back yard.
I’m afraid we really do live a very unrealistic and impractical life in regard to just basic human existence. None of it really makes good sense, and is completely tied to our ability to transport, distribute, keep cool, and a healthy farming industry. If any of that is ever disrupted and we can’t fill those grocery stores we are in real serious shite without any backup plan at all.

Agro-terrorism along with biological is the one that's been scaring me the most for years.

Exactly, try putting up a chicken coop in an HOA neighborhood and watch the shite hit the fan.

Since the stone ages man has known he needed food to survive.

This is just smart from a quality and cost perspective as well.

Yep.
That and supply chain management and resilience. A lesson the gulf coast learned after Katrina and other storms.
We can’t source everything from China - especially critical medical equipment. Some of it needs to be manufactured within our borders and some needs to be stockpiled just like oil.

Not to be an arse, but how was Katrina not a wake up call for you?
