They are #1 in dairy and #4 in meat. This year should be a banner crop with the infusion of water and disappearing drought. I'm not big into dairy or nuts, bananas aren't grown in the US and Blueberries are mostly out this way. I'll be fine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No real shortage of fish around here either. Anyone in or near California could just switch to that synthetic beef from Bill Gates. Synthetic fruits and vegetables!!!!!

Goats and chickens in the back forty with the garden. Canning during the fall. Chunk of cow from the neighbor ever now and then.

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted March 23, 2023 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted March 23, 2023 US food supply would be impacted majorly without California. Other states would be very impactful too but California is a major fruit/veg/dairy supplier. Beyond nuclear or a comet/meteor strike any massive economic/societal breakdown and I wouldn't even have to hunt for protein. Plenty of hogs and cattle raised around me. If things got so bad farmers stopped feeding/tending them I'd just go and get what I need from the farms all around me. This isn't even bringing up all the deer/small game around which would be more difficult but hard to survive on. Take what you need then let all the pigs out of a few confinement buildings and whallah....wild pig supply for life. A person can easily survive on protein alone. Hell my river is filled with river chub. If one got so desperate you can catch dozen of them every 5 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hayward Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Maybe LA is over reacting and it was just something simple like all the kardashians swinging their hips in the same direction at the same exact time? If that wouldn’t cause the earth to shake and rattle, then I don’t know what would. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s their view of the world. Very odd people. Close to 90% have never even been to California. Only what they know from Fox News. Been to California several times.... The scenery and weather is very nice....... How the state is run not so much. My son-in-law lives there and he can't stand the Dem policies, many local laws and lockdowns during COVID we're ridiculous..... I wouldn't mind if that state fell into the Pacific.... Even with my son-in-law Nah He's actually pretty cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be able to grow crops in areas that we normally wouldn't be able to grow crops. Temperate zones will be shifting. Or we will grow where we don't need to irrigate so fucking much.

Take that out and you think people cry now about the cost of food…. The whining would be epic. Coupled that with the required increases in welfare/food stamps to cover the prices, we would all be penalized Well since California is approximately 12% of the us population a 13% decrease wouldn't be that bad less mouths to feed.
