You got mad and started stamping your feet. Now, you're lying again, to a socialist. Both of you should be horse whipped publicly. |

Sue Sorry to say it Sue, but I am beginning to believe so, too. I mean, an idiot suggests that *I* should go out and buy a .35 cal rifle with no explanations given, I ask "why should I", and this idiot goes off on some tangent about how he can buy anything he wants. Like anyone has suggested that he can't? I mean, sheeesh, it was asking why someone suggested that *I* need it that got it started and he says "buy it anyway, you don't have the right to ask why you need it". Hey, Sue, Merry Christmas! Thanks. Happy New Year to you. I killfiled don a long time ago. He is the worst debater ever. Gets really confused, writes dumb stuff and then ignores any comment about the stupidity of what he wrote. snip vulgar and insulting comment from Don Wow. I am in awe of your masterful debating style! You really defended your position with wit and elegance, THERE! FW |

It only takes 600 calories (assumning that is correct) if there is no division of labor. It certainly doesn't take 600 calories to put a loaf of bread on a modern American's table. Assuming for a moment that the (highly speculative) figure of 600 calories is a good one, it takes 600 calories whether one hand or many does the planting, harvesting, grinding, baking. But the figure of 600 calories is grossly distorted. I make $8 an hour, gross, so it takes me about 15 minutes labor to put a loaf of bread on the table. I am poorly paid, for most people it takes even less effort. I don't think I expend 2,400 calories an hour on my job ... almost no one does (19kCal a day? Not.) Frankly, once I do the math (divvying up how much I eat in a day by 24 and applying 15 minutes worth to the goal of putting a loaf of bread on the table), I would say that it takes about 15-20 calories to produce a loaf of bread. This includes all the plowing, all the planting, all the tending, all the harvesting, all the transportation, all the grinding, all the cooking, and all the delivery to the shelves of my local store ... because that's what my 15 minutes buys, cash on the barrel head. My grandfather ran a family farm and didn't eat the calories the survivalists are claiming. Grannie was a little on the thin side, but Gramps was pretty hefty. I've seen what he ate. It was long in carbs, and veggies, but had some meat, too. Breakfast was normally a few small boiled potates with fresh butter, a bowl of oatmeal and a couple eggs. Lunch was a full meal of dinner leftovers and dinner was an event. He was self-suficient on 25 acres of WV hillside. That included woodlot, ponds (two), milk cows, a few pigs, a hen house and a horse or two. In the early days (until the trees were cleared off enough of the land), it included an ox but no horses. I've stolen eggs from the hens and slaughtered them ,too. I never got in on any of the larger livestock slaughtering, but Gramps had a boiling pit for getting the hair off pigs and a smokehouse for curing them. They made their own soap and canned a BOATLOAD of chickens, pork and beef for the winter. Never underestimate the power of a bean. Down on the farm, they ate sparingly of animal protein but heavily of beans, green and dried. They were pretty healthy. Someone has made a very good point a couple of times. If a 'survivalist' doesn't already plant at least a garden, in the event of a disaster, he may not live long enough to see his first harvest. Gardens / farms take time. You have to plant BEFORE the troubles start. Even if the current garden does nothing but stave off starvation for a year ... that is enough. In a year you could have the larger plot planted, harvested and in the root cellar. There will be a lot of people heading into the fields with guns. Even Michigans abundant deer herds would not survive that sort of pressure for a second season. Plant now and, if you are planning on being self-sufficient in an environment of widespread scarcity, plan on being a generalist. Just my 2 cents worth. G'night.

Going to a plant only diet would result in an absurd waste of resources as the parts of the plants not usable by humans end up in the compost heap instead of being fed to animals. Not to suggest that the present methods used by the meat industry is all that economical of resources. I wouldn't know. You were on a roll there, what happened to putting the parts that the human cannot eat back into the soil and also the parts he HAS eaten? Human manure is very rich and composts readily.
