Move along, nothing to see here. It's just another inconsequential coincidence.
 
Germany needs the Fed to start printing billions of euros so they can get into debt deep enough to pull this BS story.. If the EU would stop subsidizing the food produced in Europe and sending it into Africa, the Africans could produce their own food (which they do anyway) and sell it for enough money to survive with and they would not have to migrate into Europe to find food and jobs...Africa has gold, diamonds, oil, tourism and enough diversity to survive on its own if two things happen:
1. Stop sending cheap crap from Europe, China, Pakistan, India, and Vietnam there so they produce their own products at prices where the producers can survive and keep workers on the job...
2. Stop raping the land of its culture, oil, gold, diamonds and STOP sending money down there to "HELP"---the money only lands into the laps and bank accounts of the elites who do not care a **** about the poor and hungry: the poor and hungry are the "fishing bait" for the sympathetic money senders to keep sending the money.
 
My Hunny will buy SPAM type meat. . . YUCK! I did try a method of canning raw hamburger, just stuffing it into a jar and pressure canning it. It seemed "to easy to be true" and it was. . . It turned out horrible and using in a recipe. . I ended up using it for dog food. If I can any type of hamburger meat, I will always precook and then can.

I agree.the life and world we once knew before this COVID started,is gone.and it's just gonna get worse.in which there'll be few left if any once it's all done and over with.

I don't mind the taste of SPAM, but the sodium load on that stuff is a killer! I cut my salt intake years ago and just can't stand too much salt anymore. I can just barely handle the new low-sodium SPAM, but will at least eat that one and we stock up on it when we can find it.

They make a low salt version.
You can also remove most of the salt by simmering it in water for around five minutes.

While things are really screwed up right now I think they can be fixed if our gov wants it to happen.
Of course that doesnt seem likely at the moment.

Yes, water will pull out the salt. Have been doing it for regular ham for many years. Never thought about doing it for spam ever since I discovered the lower sodium SPAM. FYI, you don't have to BOIL it at all. Just soak salty/brined meat in hot hot water for 10 minutes, rinse/change water 3-4 times and then cook the meat in your preferred method. This is about the only way you can pull the excessive salt out of even the sugar cured (dry-cured) 'country' hams, which most people find too salty to even eat. LOL I know, as my mother raised me on dry-cured country ham. Best dang sandwich on God's green earth. :) At $20/lb (and up), I don't order them anymore. Uncooked Country Ham In Cloth Sack

Not boil,a low simmer.
According to the guy in the video.

I know I've grown adverse to salt as I've aged. I used to love salty stuff nowadays I cant stand it.
I've even gotten to the point where I dont like bacon all that much unless it's on a BLT.
 
I'm just saying you don't have to use the stove at all. I'm soaking some 1/4" hams slices in room temperature tap water right as I'm typing this. Been doing it for 50 years in plain tap water. Works the same to remove the salt via simple osmosis and you can do other things while that osmosis is doing its job. His stove simmering method might speed up the process, but the heating is totally unnecesssary, is all I'm saying. When SHTF and fuel is valuable and you don't want to waste it just to remove salt from SPAM or ham. Just use room temperature 70º water and change it a couple times as it gets salt-laden, reserving the poured off salted water to cook up a pot of beans or cabbage. Waste not want not. Plus, you've saved that fuel not heating. I figure I'll have lots of time on my hands when SHTF as I won't have computer access to waste my time on. Gardening and meal prep will kill my time. :)

Good point on wasting fuel.
I haven't eaten spam in years so I really dont remember anything about salt content.
The Wife has been buying the low sodium stuff so I hope it's not an issue either way.

And washing clothes by hand again...I do the same thing with acorns when I collect them for making hardtack with a mix of wheat flour and acorn flour. The indians used to hang the acorns in a woven basket in a creek or under a waterfall to leach them to an edible condition.

The indians also used acorns to tan hides.
They'd boil the acorns and use the water which has tannic acid in it.

Sounds like planned ARSON to me!!!
 
PrepareToday.com has just gotten in a new shipment of long-term storable food without the 6-8 week wait on shipping they have been experiencing the last 3 months. They carry ReadyHour foods, most of which I find pretty flavorful. We're pretty well-stocked with a year's kit, but I just topped off with an order for some more of the Chicken & Rice, Potato Soup, Powdered Whey Milk Powder and Scrambled Eggs (all in #10 cans) last Saturday and it just arrived yesterday late! Talk about FAST! Prices haven't gone down any :( but at least it's still available (and it may not be much longer folks) without a very long wait time. BTW, we find their serving sizes to be ginormous and we get many more servings from most of their food pouches that are supposed to be for 4 people. EX: the Chicken & Rice pouch would easily feed 6 adults IMHO, especially if a green veggie was served along with it.

After SHTF, and there's no AC, salt intake will be critical. SPAM is the perfect post SHTF food.
 
Everyone make sure you have a store of bleach, or better yet pool shock (calcium hypochlorite) as it does not go bad like bleach does.

There is a shortage of bleach and pool shock that is getting worse. A large plant in Louisiana was destroyed December 2020…and then January of this year another facility was burned down. If the water systems should go down, those who are even able to secure water won’t have a good way to make it drinkable without good filters or some calcium hypochlorite or bleach (sodium hypochlorite). Beyond drinking water,, let’s not even talk about germ killing uses on surfaces and such!
