Comfirmation of double-digit food price inflation in 2011 begins.

excerpt from this article:

On November 12th, NIA's President Gerard Adams warned Americans on FOX Business to beware of massive food inflation in early 2011. We are less than three weeks into the new year and massive food inflation is already here. SuperValu, the third-largest U.S. food retailer with 2,349 stores that operate under such names as Acme, Albertsons, and Save-A-Lot, just reported that all of their major vendors have announced their intentions to pass along rising costs throughout the calendar year and the company will be raising prices on all food items by 3% to 14%. NIA's experience tells us that SuperValu is planning to increase prices on most goods by approximately 14%. Trust us, if SuperValu was expecting to increase prices by an average of only around 5%, they would have given an average instead of such a wide range. (By the way, SuperValu's stock crashed 16% on the news and one of NIA's top 10 predictions for 2011 was that U.S. retail stocks will decline after reporting lower profit margins.)

The SuperValu situation confirms that double-digit U.S. food price inflation is just about guaranteed to occur in 2011. We also expect to see double-digit price inflation this year in clothing, oil, gasoline, natural gas, and all of the most important things Americans need to live and survive. If the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) somehow manages to report a CPI increase in 2011 of anything less than 5%, and the mainstream media continues to report the BLS's CPI numbers as the truth, any Americans who continue to listen to the mainstream media deserve to lose all of their purchasing power during hyperinflation.

See previous articles on the website and please prioritize your efforts; buy food storage and household staples. Be frugal-smart, but not so stingy as to not be filling all the needs as well. (I wish I'd bought canned butter just two years ago when it was half the price as it is now. And my kids can get by with basic wardrobe basics if need be, but they need to be big enough.)
Don't wait for the sales that MAY NOT COME AGAIN. Buy the foods you desire at acceptable prices. If there is a sale/decrease, jump on it as your bonus-buys of extra and count yourself doubly blessed.

What are you eating today? What are you storing?

Are you sure you are abiding by the word of wisdom? Are you sure you just put "food" in your kids' mouth, or are you just perpetuating your own addictions? What do you plan on nourishing your family with in your storage? Quality is the easiest way once realized.
We have to take the bull by it's horns and take charge of the changes that are needed!

neat post which included a quote from a book:

In a way, it’s unfair to categorize sweets and white flour products as foods. They’re really more like drugs. That’s why they have such mood-altering power. The corn, sugarcane, and sugar beets that sugar is extracted from, and the grains that flour is extracted from, contain fiber, vitamins and minerals,. But after the extraction process, most of those beneficial nutrients are gone. What’s left is a potent crystallized concentrate, not unlike other plant concentrates we’re familiar with, like cocaine or opium, also extracted from lovely plants full of vitamins, minerals, and fiber.. These two refined white crabs can force a release of your brain’s natural feel good neurotransmitters, serotonin and endorphins. This brain chemistry disruption and depletion leads to the need for another cookie for another brief mood boost….and then another….and another.

Why come to CERT training?

Because CERT training will help you and your family be better prepared for disasters and other emergencies. You will also learn how to best help others. After a disaster, the professionals will be so overwhelmed that they may not be available for 72-96 hours or more. The rescue efforts will be up to us. You and others will want to help. CERT training teaches neighbors how to work together more effectively to save more lives and ease the hardship people go through until the professionals are able to get there.

What is CERT training?

CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) was created in California to help people better get through a wide spread earthquake disaster. The program is so effective that it is now taught throughout the country to help people with any type of disaster.

CERT is a seven session course focusing on the following concepts:

· General Emergency Preparedness

· Fire Suppression

· First Aid and Disaster Medical Operations

· Light Search and Rescue

· Disaster Psychology
