You don't think that displaced, starving people from low-lying areas and cities, who don't have their own source of food, will be moving into the hills to forage as well?
It's going to be bloody.

Imagine the entire population of NYC unable to eat because no one can afford to ship food into the city. Imagine them first rioting, then moving upstate, foraging for field crops, killing dairy cattle for meat, fighting over access to clean drinking water, sleeping in barns... Imagine the farmers who thought they could at the very least feed their own families now having to defend their food and homes against a horde of starving ex-urbanites.

If the stuff that happened after Katrina didn't scare you... and that was nothing compared to things to come...

I think it's difficult for a person living in a 'developed' country, who has never had to go hungry, to imagine what people will endure out of desperation. You only have to look at Mexican immigrants walking for days across the desert to come look for work, or Chinese immigrants paying their life savings for the right to be packed like sardines into a steel shipping container for weeks with almost no food or water, and no sanitary facilities, to make the Pacific crossing and hope to land alive in a country where just maybe they can work illegally for a tiny wage... It's something to think about...
