    It would be impossible to protect everything unless you had a complete sealed aquaponic system. Hydroponic wouldn’t work as you would still need chemicals to balance the water for the plants. I have already seen a video of “white fire raining down) as they are already using these types of “banned bombs” over parts of Ukraine. Burning everything. For the super Rich who have these set ups in their super bunkers their hydroponic system for growing long term survival is flawed. artificial lighting, filtered water,and air etc. The diversity of food stuff they will be able to grow in these systems will not provide the things a person needs to stay healthy. despite what you may think. Nutrients in the plants grown this way are depleted in trace minerals only got from growing in soil. There are certain plants that are very good at getting rid of the bad stuff in soil. Sunflowers for one. But you would need a whole lot to treat an area and then what would you do with the sunflower plants? I have thought about that. My husband is a retired vet and missed the draft for Vietnam by 6 months. But we have know many that were there are are no longer with us or still have health issues. In the even a nuke strike. those of us that would survive would suffer radiation burns etc. One plant that I know of does heal radiation burns very well. That is the Aloe Vera plant and I would not be without. I for one am looking more as to how I grow. My garden can be seen from space with google earth and anything above with my nice straight rows. In a few years mine will be more like a food forest. Less obvious to the eyes above. That is if it isn’t beyond repair from what they are doing. I put my trust in God Almighty. And if my time is up I will meet my maker. and if not, with his grace will be here to help those around me to survive as best we can.

    I too have been buying it for years until recently. Mainly due to the price and actually switched brands to the same one Danny brought in the video. I am not overly keen but it will do for baking. I have looked into so many of the foods we have been buying and have always brought very little processed foods. I never thought to look at butter . I think in all honesty I will Use up what we have and be paying more and buying from our local Amish store in future. I actually have more faith in their products right now. Until proven otherwise .

    Same when we lived in Colorado. My garden was 95% edible or medicinal. I used to give loads away Everyone knew me as the plant lady as I gave away on average 1000 plants and cuttings away for free for the time we lived there every year. ( ten ) Had folk check out the garden to see that it was possible what ever size garden you had was possible to feed a family. I had it set up so that there were small areas even if folk just had a balcony etc. So people were coming and going to pick up plants all the time. We would be a prime target if we had stayed. Plenty of edibles that go down to -30 and -40 degrees and had a wonderful garden there. We had seen the way things were heading for years. I am 60 and have been a prepper all my life. But we didn’t call it that back in the day. Sold up and moved out in the back of beyond and starting a new garden over 3 years ago. My advice to you is simple. Change how you plant your crops if your in a town community etc. . You can thank the Victorian gardeners for us planting in nice neat rows. I found most folk that came did not and had never seen a carrot growing never seen a potato plant or actually knew where there food came from or what the plant looked like. Going to the store and the check out person asking me what a vegetable was so they could scan it in was common place. Plant in flower beds. etc change how you plant your veg. They can grow very happily along side other plants and don’t plant in rows.Etc. spread them about a bit. 🙃

    Saw this article while looking at butter. This was posted 5 days ago and the butter is being pulled due to the packaging. One of the other reasons I stopped buying was anything that has aluminum foil packaging. I am switching over to stainless steel with my baking trays and pans as well. Because of Aluminum Toxicity. Never cooked in it except I never thought about my baking pans. https://winepressnews.com/2023/02/09/kerrygold-butter-is-being-pulled-from-shelves-due-to-dangerous-chemical-contamination-in-packaging/

    Oh boy. Thanks for letting me know. It is just so hard you can’t rely on any food products these days. Even the basics.
