Nine Meals from Anarchy: Prepper Applications

First spoken aloud by Alfred Henry Lewis in 1906 and echoed by those as well known as Leon Trotsky. “There are only nine meals between mankind and anarchy.”

Why are meals separated out from the rest of the human needs as being the one that will cause anarchy in such a short time? Mainly because it’s the hardest to do with out for any period of time before the discomfort becomes serious. Shortage of just about anything else, with the exception of water can be dealt with, with patience and time. People get hungry within hours of the absence of food. Not days or weeks but mere hours. As hunger knags at the empty belly fear begins to set in. Along with fear comes the rage and panic. When you have a bunch of hungry, frightened, angry and panicked people, you have anarchy. I myself have been known to get a bit “hangry” at times imagine after days with tons of hangry folks milling about.

How does this apply to preppers and the preparations we make? A thought from our friends Living Life in Rural Iowa answers that at the featured link below
