I live ridiculously frugal in a emerging economy country. It's not that I actively look to drop out of consumption, it's just that I lifestyle seemed to settle on this way of being. My entire cost of living is probably less than the cost of ownership of my small truck back home.

I don't consume things which use corn as an ingredient. I don't use seed oils. My food is mostly wild fish (local markets.) If Russia were unleash nuclear war, I probably wouldn't get hit.

I guess I would still be screwed if there were a global food catastrophe because it would affect me somehow.

No reason for this comment other than it's strange to see that the solutions on this list wouldn't apply to me.



If everybody ate wild fish, there'd shortly be no more fish.

Living off wild things ceased to be able to support the population many centuries ago. Even the pre-Columbian American people farmed.


In the spirit of "no reason": It's theorized that a nuclear war anywhere on the planet would be ecologically devasting for human life everywhere.


Global markets impact local prices everywhere
