The Coming Food Crisis May Look Nothing Like a Crisis Until it’s Too Late

Just after the morning deliveries and before the first customers, a supermarket looks both ordinary and slightly deceptive. The lights are on, the coolers hum, and the shelves hold exactly what they held last week. Strawberries show up in February, lettuce comes from ground that was desert two generations ago, and on the same shelf beef raised across three states sits beside bread baked from grain cut a thousand miles away. Someone pushing a cart through the whole store can finish the errand without once wondering how any of it got there. [Read More]

First 50 Foods in the Amish Pantry That Almost Never Expire - Forgotten Survival Secrets Most People No Longer Know

Cut into a slope behind my great-grandfather’s house, closed with a door you had to stoop to enter, sat a cellar that stayed cold into July. Nine people ate out of that hole in the ground for most of a year, and nobody in the family thought it strange. Sacks of wheat leaned against the wall in the dark. A crock of lard waited under a cloth. Jars of honey had gone the color of old amber, and a few of them, I suspect, were older than my mother. Not one container down there carried a printed date, and not one jar appeared to care. [Read More]

They are Killing the Farmers And Nobody is Asking Why

Editor’s Note

What follows is assembled from verified documentation: bankruptcy filings from U.S. federal courts, European Union parliamentary records, United Nations agricultural reports, audio recordings of farmer protests in Brussels and The Hague, and interviews published in agricultural trade publications and regional newspapers between 2024 and 2026. I have confirmed every statistic through primary sources, every quote through multiple recordings, every name through official documents. Some individuals requested anonymity—not from government retribution, but from banks holding their mortgages and corporations controlling their seed supply. Others insisted their names appear in full. They want their testimony preserved. [Read More]

USDA’s No GMO Label Doesn’t Mean No Genetic Engineering

A food package carries no bioengineered disclosure. Does that mean no genetic engineering went into the food?

No. USDA’s bioengineered food disclosure standard leaves entire categories of genetically engineered foods and ingredients outside mandatory disclosure.

Easing restrictions on natural substances with credible histories of safe use makes sense. Yet natural products face persistent calls for tighter regulation, alongside efforts to suppress truthful information about their benefits.

Meanwhile, novel technologies that fundamentally alter our food are riding a wave of deregulation - even as their implications demand rigorous scrutiny and full transparency.

These priorities are backwards. [Read More]

Diesel Crisis Update: Farmers Hit Hard - Food Crisis Warnings Rise


The pressure on diesel continues to build heading into harvest. Prices have climbed further, on-farm inventories are low, Russia is extending its export ban, refining is running at historic stress levels, and farming associations in the UK and Germany are warning of a Food Crisis, as many producers may not have the cash to plant next season. Ground reports of delivery impacts are also starting to surface.


Study Links Ultraprocessed Foods to Cognitive Decline; Processed Meat Shows Strongest Association

A study published in the American Journal of Public Health found that older adults who consume higher amounts of ultraprocessed foods (UPFs) face an increased risk of cognitive impairment and dementia, with processed meat showing the strongest association among food categories, according to the report.

The findings add to a growing body of evidence linking highly processed foods to brain health deterioration, researchers said. According to the study, which analyzed data from the Health and Retirement Study, participants with higher UPF intake had significantly greater risk of both cognitive impairment with no dementia (CIND) and dementia.

How to Source “Real Food” if You Can’t Grow it Yourself

I’m sure most everyone is familiar now with the seemingly sudden change in the Food Pyramid.  The Food Pyramid has essentially been flipped on its head.  Whereas, grains were considered a “foundational” food, meats (proteins), vegetables, and dairy are now considered to be foundational.  I am very pleased to see this change at the federal government level because it’s going to impact all federal programs for the better, in my opinion, such as feeding children, the less fortunate, healthcare, and nutrition guidelines.
