you could, maybe, instead, if you're worried about this, homestead with permaculture design principles?

  That would require effort and a change in your lifestyle. Now you can indulge your paranoid fantasies just by throwing money at it. Mind you, I've got the same paranoid fantasies -- just because you're paranoid doesn't mean that they're not out to get you. I just don't think that I can fix them by throwing money at it. Or even by homesteading with permaculture.

    It would be a change in lifestyle but I am advocating for the change for reasons other the "prepping" as much as a health change in lifestyle. In some situations it might even be a substantial source of food and save or even make a little money. That it might help in troubled times is nice. It, if nothing else, would teach a lot of people just how important our food infrastructure is.

  Growing your own food should be more common. It is good to have some fresh food and know where it is coming from. Permaculture should be encouraged more, especially in suburban and rural areas. It might even be a way for some to make a little money (supplement, fun hobby, high school students). It would be an only solution if food was really long term short. It will not solve all the worlds problems but maybe make use slightly more resilient in time of trouble. A lot (most?) of people just do not have the space and resources. It is somewhat of a challenge to grow enough food for even one person. Planning and automaton can help but in the end it is work. Permaculture takes aa while to ramp up (so get started early.
