Have You Read "One Second After"?

[Lostinoz]

I think one of the most heart wrenching moments for me was before the public execution of the thieves, during John's speech: "Our world has changed..., but this is still America. I want to believe it is still America."

It is my hope to never face this situation, though it is bound to happen at some point in time if all h*ll breaks loose.

The run on the pharmacies is a given, to me. I hope people have sense enough not to be there if/when chaos reigns.

Lady Banjo,

The saw dust in the bread items was common during WWI and WWII in Germany as I have read anyway.

The part about the dogs was upsetting too. Will buy more dog food. I'll ask again if anyone knows about how to make the electrolyte substitute ?

I found this simple one..

5 cups of water
8 level tsp. sugar
1 level tsp. salt
Mix, and let them drink as much as they want.

I can't guarantee it as I've never used it.

Hooray. Got my "One Second After". Already upset about the nursing homes, didn't think of them. Also wonder if anyone knows how to make the electrolyte substitute using water, salt and sugar?

Teach, that is one of the things that struck me the hardest about Katrina. Have you seen footage of where some of the elderly from nursing homes were left on the streets outside of "supposed" shelters. So very sad.

The lack of insulin and people dying off from that was so hard for me to come to terms with, regarding the book. :(

Actually, Dunkin Doughnuts experimented with a cellulose filler. It not a new thought and has been done. I'm definetely NOT a fan. lol

Great book. (One Second After) Learned many tips and food for thought. I was taken back by the town's leaders' early idea (when they were brainstorming ways to acquire food) to take the food from people who had prepped. I was glad when they decided that it wasn't a good idea. Also, there was a short blurb re sawdust being added to the biscuit dough "to fill stomachs". Anyone ever heard of that?

Hey Lady B, read this account of a Holocaust survivor:

It talks about sawdust in the bread, too.

During the Great Depression, my father-in-law was a young boy. His dad was a pig farmer. His dad was told by the authorities that he could not slaughter any hogs. They WILL confiscate for the "good of the community".
