WTF is a "crisis garden", and how does it differ from a regular garden?

New “Survival Seed Bank” Produces Thousands Of Pounds Of Nutrient-Dense Food For Pennies Per Pound… Enough To Feed Friends And Family Forever!

Now you can grow all the survival food you will ever need anywhere in the country with a kit that contains a special seed bank of hard to find, open pollinated… super seeds, grown by small, fiercely independent farmers.

Let’s face it. If the stories coming out on the world’s food supply are even half right, we’ve got real problems and they aren’t going to go away quickly. Here are a couple stories that I ran across recently:

WorldNet Daily cites strong evidence that some government agencies are stockpiling huge amounts of canned food.
Jim Randas, former U.S. Intelligence officer, appeared on ABC telling Americans to start stockpiling food.
Grocery store prices are rising faster than any time in U.S. history.
Worldwide grain stocks are dropping precipitously as bio-fuels consume inventories… and on and on and on.
You don’t have to be an Old Testament prophet to see what’s going on all around us. A belligerent lower class demanding handouts. A rapidly diminishing middle class crippled by police state bureaucracy. An aloof, ruling elite that has introduced us to an emerging totalitarianism which seeks control over every aspect of our lives.

As the meltdown progresses, one of the first things to be affected will be our nation’s food supply. Expect soaring prices along with moderate to severe shortages by spring. If you don’t have the ability to grow your own food next year, your life may be in danger. Supply lines for food distribution in this country are about three days, meaning a dependence on “just in time” distribution systems, which will leave store shelves empty in the event of even the smallest crisis.

Are You Ready To Take Control Of Your Own Food Supply?
Could you and your family get off the grid and survive in a panic? Do you have enough seeds to plant a survival garden and feed your family? Do you have the right kind of seeds to plant? If you’re answering no to these questions, you need to stop wherever you are and ask yourself… “What would I do if the grocery stores closed?” The answer sadly is that you’d probably go hungry.

2. The question is, how small are these small, fiercely independent farmers? Pygmies? Hobbits?

If the seeds are so good, wouldn't they be larger? Are did they shrink due to reading WorldNetDaily?

3. Umm, in a severe food shortage one's life would be in danger BECAUSE of growing one's own food.

Ya think those gardenless people are going to starve when you've got those nice veggies in the yard????
