With current wages and prices, life as a medieval peasant doesn't look so bad in comparison.
Imagine: fruit and veggies that actually still taste like the real thing, literally half the year off, and no mobile ads.

Actual food hack: Save vegetable trimmings in a bag in the freezer. Onion skins, carrot peelings, celery bits, broccoli stems, etc. When it's full, put them in a pot and cover with water and cook at medium heat for a couple hours to make free vegetable broth.

I remember reading some kind of tip, maybe making a sauce out of onion and garlic skin, but in any case, is there any concern with mold or food safety with this method? There was some talk of it with whatever I read.

Ehh, I don't have time to wait around for garlic. I do however plant spring onions from the grocer in my kitchen. They grow faster than I can eat them and come back quickly with a substantial amount of neglect.

Sadly there absolutely are people that think food is just made and appears at the grocery store.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago (2 children)

It is a frightening realization that our world hinges on a very thin tether of human cooperation that allows us to create a civilization where food is delivered daily to everyone everywhere all the time.

As soon as that system is disrupted, or destroyed ... people automatically start starving.

If something terrible happens right now and transportation stops ... there is only enough fresh food in any town for 24 hours ... 72 hours to empty them all of everything else that is edible. What most people don't realize is that modern grocery stores are stocked just for a day or two with the expectation that deliveries will happen on a daily basis. So grocery stores don't have any extra once supplies are gone. They don't have surplus in the back to restock everything. Even as it all starts, we will probably start fighting, murdering one another for food supplies once we realize no more is coming.

It's really hard to build a civilization from nothing ... but it's far too easy to take a civilization down.

When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, “Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.” To this day, especially in times of “disaster,” I remember my mother’s words and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers – so many caring people in this world.

It's actually worse than that. Starvation takes a long time to happen (~3 weeks). Lack of access to water causes death and desperation in a much shorter period of time. If water pipelines and/or pumping facilities get screwed up in any way, cities will become mad max much faster and in a much more intense fashion. In a water-starved population, people are mostly composed of water...

This is why the Flint water crisis was such a big deal: it doesn't take long to die when water runs out.

No, but you do lose quite a bit of weight while you turn into human jerky

Heard this argument a few weeks ago which stunned me. This woman was being interviewed about her thoughts regarding nearby farm land being used to build new homes. She retorted along the lines of: "I don't see why we need all this farm land anyway, you can buy your food from the store!"

I died a little hearing that.

Growing up in a rural area, my school taught us that farmers were basically god.

Exactly. A lot of people are completely ignorant about how the world works. They just expect everything to function, without any idea of how or why. Full blown adults.

It's disheartening.
