Great story, Crystal! I wrote a long response, but was afraid it was too much for the comments, so I've made it into a <a href="http://www.urgentevoke.com/profiles/blogs/response-to-food-riots-after">separate blog post here</a>.

Crystal,<br />
I came across your post after looking for U.S. Food Riots on Google. Thanks for sharing your experiences.<br />
First may I say that what you saw back during Katrina will take place again but on a much larger scale throughout the U.S. in the near future. I am a strong believer that we will see the nation's economy totally collapse which will result in mass riots,food riots , etc. in the streets of the U.S. . I believe that what we saw with Katrina will be played out again , but on much more…

First may I say that what you saw back during Katrina will take place again but on a much larger scale throughout the U.S. in the near future. I am a strong believer that we will see the nation's economy totally collapse which will result in mass riots,food riots , etc. in the streets of the U.S. . I believe that what we saw with Katrina will be played out again , but on much more broader scale . I also believe that we have not seen the last of such broad scale natural disasters such as Katrina. I have a strong public safety background as a firefighter who is quite familiar with FEMA'S operations. With that said, DO NOT THINK THAT THEY ARE AS EQUIPPED AS YOU WOULD THINK TO HANDLE THESE EVENTS AS KATRINA PROVED TO US. With this is mind we should get as prepared as we can to face the things that await this country in the near future.<br />
I'm not going to push faith over on you but I would make a suggstion of checking out two well known ,solid , reputable preachers web sites (these men aren't screwballs) and see what they have said & have warned their congregations about along the lines of future events here in the U.S.(some of which you have witnsessed personally). Some of these warnings include the collapse of the nations economy, mass riots and mega natural distasters. Look up David Wilkerson/Founder of Times Square Church in New York City and John Kilpatrick a well know & well respected preacher from your part of the country. I believe what these men have to say will help you and yours to be prepared for the very tough days that lie ahead for this country. Nice post Crystal, definitely…tag:www.urgentevoke.com,2010-03-13:4871302:Comment:346562010-03-13T16:26:48.722ZThe Garden Earth Projecthttp://www.urgentevoke.com/profile/TheGardenEarthProject
Nice post Crystal, definitely food for thought.<br />
<br />
An important part of food security is food storage. Growing up, my family always had at least 2 years supply of food storage on hand. Canned and dehydrated goods, stores of grains. I grew up understanding that it was my responsibility not only to take care of myself, but to have enough to share with neighbors in need. To rely on an external infrastructure that may or may not be sufficient, or even benevolent was never even a thought.<br />

In my mind, the best way we can address the issues of mass food security for temporary crisis is to shift our mind set towards self sufficiency and away from being dependent on governments and corporations for our very survival.

It's funny how the more we try to protect ourselves inside of big cities with stores, hospitals, etc. we get farther away from being able to have what we need. We don´t grow our food so now we depend on stores, we do far less exercise, live in more polluted places and have lost lot of knowledge about traditional medicine so we need hospitals, gyms, doctors, etc. It seems the stronger our "urban ecosystem" is, the more dependable we are of just a few key things (energy, transportation, etc.).

Great post Crystal :) From my experience in the UK, it doesn't take much to trigger panic buying - we had a lot of unexpected snow in Jan and people were queueing for miles outside the supermarkets - so stuff started running out quickly. Nothing like as bad as your experience, but still shows that civilised society can all too quickly dissolve if stressed a little.
