America’s food independence is collapsing in real time — and almost nobody is talking about it.
In this explosive episode of the Survival & Basic Badass Podcast, we rip the curtain off the terrifying truth:
• The U.S. is now running a RECORD $49.5 BILLION food trade deficit in 2025
• We import more food than ever while domestic production craters
• The average American farmer is almost 60 years old and retiring with no one to replace them
• Insane labor laws, sky-high regulations, and emotion-driven bans are crushing U.S. growers… while imported food from Mexico and beyond skates by with almost zero oversight
• If global shipping stops tomorrow (war, blockade, cyberattack), grocery shelves go EMPTY in days
This isn’t fear porn — this is math, USDA data, and cold hard reality.
Whether you’re a hardcore prepper, a homesteader, or just someone who likes eating, you NEED to hear this episode before it’s too late.
