Apocalypse now

[Clippy]

I've got a handful of Gold sovs. I reckon each one might buy a tin of beans later.

FTFY

On the packet, it says...per 100g: Energy 494kJ, 116kcal.

Can't see any sawdust in there.

Close to the value for long grained rice listed here:

"Meltdown within 2-3 weeks. Sovereign debt meltdown, European bank meltdowns, largest banks in the world meltdown. Will spread everywhere. More serious than 2008. Verge of perfect storm. Could happen at any moment".

Not addressed was whether meltdown would cause a run on supermarkets and make savings worthless.

Think I might stock up on beans while supermarkets and money last.

Please cross reference this with Prisonplanet.com and the Keiser report.

Then post back with a paragraph or two.

Thats cooked

I gather it's hard to eat uncooked (takes ages to go all mushy in cold water), so is a more realistic figure. Now flour is a different story.

Swallow your 1KG of dry rice as it comes and then drink a couple of glasses of hot water - sorted!

Food is still remarkably cheap in the UK IMO, and supermarkets doing well (also IMO). People need food in recessions too.

On the BBC news last night interviewing a mother of 4 in Tescos ranting at the price of food.

The size of her! She needed her own postcode.

Increased food prices are a good thing IMO for the sake of the health of the nation. Whilst working in Norway food yes was pricey but did I see obesity? Not an excess lb in sight.

Same with petrol prices. Every time it goes up 10p a litre, I with joy. Less peasants clogging up the roads for us gas guzzling SUV drivers.

One of the funniest things I remember seeing when they introduced the congestion charge in london was a rich man suggesting it was brilliant; for £5 (at the time) they could all drive their bentleys and porsches around the streets of london with no oiks to block the roads...

Apparently car usage has already peaked in many countries:

Peak car - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

...are dropping in at least eight major developed countries including the UK, Australia, America and Japan. Similar to peak oil, peak car theory holds that travel usage per capita reaches a peak and then declines over time. Japan peaked in the 1990s and the Western countries peaked in 2004.
