Is food a good investment right now?

I’m thinking

20 lb rice
10 lb beans/lentils
10 cans meat
10 cans vegetables
6 cans soup/chili
2 jars peanut butter
2 bottles cooking oil
1 large container oats

Thank me later.

What are you going to cook that rice with? My power went out a few weeks ago and I was lucky to have a gas stove I could use to heat up my beans, in the real shit though the gas won't be flowing.

I've just grabbed a couple of extra non-perishables everytime I've gone to the shop for the past couple of months, so I'm well stocked, it's almost like I intuitively knew this was happening yet I didn't open leveraged positions on oil. I'll always be poor I suppose, but never hungry at least.

remember to take the food out of the plastic bags it comes in, store it in glass jars or mylar bags. The liquid component of soft clear plastic evaporates into the food, ruining it after a couple years. You can still eat it, it just tastes like shit and gives you rectal cancer.

Just look at what’s happening lol. All the refineries in the Middle East are shutting down. You WILL be paying 10 dollars a gallon. Everything is about to get much more expensive

A fire? You fucking idiot.

>Prices in the United States, which imports much of its fertilizer needs despite a large domestic industry, rose at the war's outbreak. Prices for fertilizer jumped from $516 per metric ton on Friday to up to $683 at the import hub of New Orleans on Thursday. Prices could jump higher if the Persian Gulf closure persists and shipments can't make it in time for spring planting, analysts told Reuters.

>Qatar Energy has had to stop production at the world's largest single-site urea plant, as it lost its source of natural gas feedstock after the company shut down gas output due to attacks on its LNG facilities.

>At the same time, sulphur output has been cut in other parts of the Middle East.

>Three Indian plants have been forced to reduce urea output as LNG supplies from Qatar have dropped sharply, said a New Delhi-based senior industry official. As a result, supply is expected to be tight for urea and diammonium phosphate in the short term

>While China sources more than 50% of its sulphur imports from the Middle East, Indonesia relies on the region for nearly 70% of its supplies, traders said. Sulphur is a key ingredient for phosphate fertilisers like diammonium phosphate and monoammonium phosphate.

Oil going past $100 in the next month or two is the only thing that can really save my portfolio at this point.

Urea is basically pee. How the fuck is there a shortage of pee?
>>
>>61941284
That's so fucking basic, how do you not have that much food lying around just normally?

I have:
>30 lbs of whey powder
>40 lbs of various nuts
>40 lbs of rice
>40 cans of sardines and other fish
>20 cans/cartons of soup
>Two coffin sized chest freezers full of ground beef, pork, vegetables, pizza and other shit
>A zero water filter in case my 5 stage reverse osmosis system loses water pressure.

That's not even "stockpiling", that's just buying in bulk from Costco
>>
>>61942917
Your absolutely right I’m going back today and getting more.

I suspect that food inflation will only really hit if they need to restock food.

>he forgot about the great poo shortage of 2022
>>
>>61942917
>nuts
I had a big bag of nuts stored up and when I finally opened it up it was half nuts half worms eating the nuts. Nuts might not be a good idea for long term storage
>>
>>61942878
Modern agriculture is the tranny fake recreation of big cows pooping pissing and stamping into big fields of plants.
Cows + grassland are the ultimate long term investment. You can't lose.

Isn’t Mylar lined with plastic anyway?

>>61941284
If you want to prepmax then you should probably get some water, water filters and food that you don't need to cook to eat
>>
>>61941284
Meat is plentiful. There are stories of sailors in the 1800's who survived months drifting in the ocean by eating the raw flesh and internal organs of their dead crew members. There is no shortage of nutritious meat on land....
>>
>>61945913
Replying to myself. Yes, yes it is. Mylar bags have plastic liners on the inside.
>>
>>61941314
As much as I want to rag on you for forgetting about fire, you at least have the foresight to think ahead.
Most people are blissfully ignorant. I can't even begin to imagine the chaos if power grids start shutting down. Shits gonna be ugly.

>>61941284
analysts always over exaggerate, especially twitter "analysts"

>>61941284
Store it in Mylar or glass jars in a cool dry place. We bought a bunch of shit in 2012 and put it on shelves in our cool, dry basement. The packaging made everything smell funky inside of a year. Could have just been the junk they put in our food. Buy food that is meant to be stored from the prepper sites and don’t go through the waste of money I did.

Never ate a 30 year old prepper meal, so maybe that’s bullshit too. Don’t know!

Bought spam. I don’t eat spam. One can blew up like that that guy in Encino Man.
