If it was a full-on nuclear war
What sense is there in being a prepper
I would advise going and jumping off the nearest tall building or hoping that a nuke landed on top of your house
So it would be best to perish as soon as possible

A far more likely situation is that a foreign power or a foreign cyber terrorism group will shut down the power grid
Or shut down banking facilities
Or there will be an inability to import fuel for 3 months

I would consider that reasonably likely

If any of those things happen there is going to be a period of chaos in large cities
Think about a situation where you cannot access your credit card and your power is out for 4 weeks
No running water
No petrol able to be pumped at the servo
You could seriously be in a lot of trouble if you do not have at least the basics covered for a month

For under $1,000 you can have enough fuel a generator enough tinned food and maybe a rainwater tank and some means to protect yourself

Do you really want to be down at the local Woolworths in the dark
Trying to smash your way into the store next to the machete wielding Apex gang
To secure a supply of baked beans

It's not prepping for Doomsday it's just a sensible insurance policy

If you don't use it you can always go camping for a couple of weeks in The great outdoors

Petrol is certainly vulnerable
I don't think people realise how important it is

The agricultural industry has done some studies
And $100 worth of fuel in a tractor
Does as much manual labour
As would require $20,000 in wages to hire manual labourers

For what fuel does for us
It is incredibly cheap and taken-for-granted

And yes one little war in the Persian gulf or the South China sea
And tankers stop travelling

And good luck with your food production then

Is Maccas safe for human consumption?


Depends on your priorities enough of it could preserve your body for ten thousand years but the preservation process would be likely to commence a bit earlier than preferred.

You need a cast iron guts to deal with that stuff but the generation that have grown up with it have adapted, evolution.

I can remember when a big Mac looked like the burger in the picture.

I can buy 500 grams of beef and make 4 burgers with a patty the size of a quarter pounder, that works because a 1/4 pound is a bit over 100 grams. It sounds like more than it is.

The original junior burger bun was probably bigger than the current big mac bun.

WTF  - now we have 10 year olds cooking unsafe food in unsafe conditions.

What more outrageous stories will Maccas provide us?
