Egg are flying off the shelves in California and many other states across the country. Meanwhile, costs are surging so high that breakfast restaurants are raising their prices. Chicken and beef prices are going up again as well.
It’s all about Bird Flu and multiple industries are feeling the pain along with their customers.
“2024 ended with an unexpected spike in sales,” said JD Rucker, CEO of Prepper All-Naturals. “It appears many people are anxious about the way things are going with food and Bird Flu is the biggest reason.”
Biden regime fearmongers are pushing for Bird Flu vaccines and other measures to “protect” Americans, which accounts for the bulk of reporting on what some are calling the next “Plandemic.” But real-world effects are already being felt in the various food industries.
Survival food is hot right now. Americans are stocking up on canned, dehydrated, and freeze-dried foods, particularly meats, in anticipation of shortages that appear inevitable.
To adjust to the sudden surge, Prepper All-Naturals is doing two things. First, they’re introducing new products this year, including long-term storage chicken and ground beef. Second, they’re extending their sale to clear out surpluses of “Freeze-Dried Beef Steak” with a 40% off promo code, “steak40”, on 1-Packs, 4-Packs, and 10-Packs.
“The ‘Freeze-Dried Beef Steak’ is our most popular product but it’s also by far our most abundant,” Rucker said. “Once we get that inventory down to par we can get going on ground beef and chicken. I anticipate we’ll add powdered eggs to the mix soon, too.”
The early 2025 surge actually started last year. First, it was concern over the election with some anticipating chaos regardless of who won.
Then, the ongoing attacks on the farm and ranching industries reaffirmed concerns in the prepper world. Even many on the ideological left, who traditionally haven’t been as concerned about preparedness, began stocking up on food at rates previously unseen. Their reasoning was oftentimes different than that of the ideological right because their primary concern has been the impact of climate change.
“The past few weeks and months, it’s been like a tsunami,” said Aton Edwards, the founder of an emergency preparedness organization called International Preparedness Network.
2025 is already proving to be a year in which preparedness is going mainstream. The survival community has endured years of ridicule for being “Doomsday Preppers.” Now, they are been justified as ahead of the curve.
But as Rucker noted, it’s more than just a desire to be ready for emergencies.
“Preparedness isn’t just about survival,” he said. “It’s about self-reliance. If disaster strikes, there will be those who turn to government to save them and those who can take care of themselves and their families. More and more Americans are doing what they can to be ready for the second option.”
Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
