...without looking paranoid

[Ronin13]

I have a few boxes of Ramen just in case ... but honestly if things get real bad I have plenty of unarmed hippies living in my neighborhood so I'll always have plenty of food and labor.

Eeew soy! No thank you.... Oh are we talking about cannibalism? Not to detract from the humor, but human flesh can contain Prion Disease and you also run the risk of Kuru (Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease) or Wendigo diseases that are much like Mad Cow (I guess the term could be Mad Human Disease?) and make you go insane then die. It's not a guarantee that you'll go insane, but the disease is most common in the brain, marrow, and small intestine. Cannibalism has been practiced for a long time, especially in the south west Pacific and New Guinea. Cook the meat thoroughly and you should be ok, just stay away from the brains and small intestine (which is just gross because of the risk of poop).

But brains and scrambled eggs make a great breakfast

Well I hadn't planned on eating the hippies, just taking anything they have of value and forcing them to work in my fields.

Some of y'all have me worried.

Ah, so basically what you're saying is that hippies will become the new Mexic- I mean migrant workers- when the SHTF? Both have doubtful work ethic but at least the hippies will understand what you're saying.

Well, you have a far greater risk of getting prions from elk than hippys, and Wendigo is a rare form of psychosis which is cultural rather than prion based.

Just grill it outside and use plenty of hot sauce and you'll be fine.

Hot sauce eh?

The pepper itself is rated at 1.38M SHU (Scoville Heat Units), for reference Tobasco Sauce is, at the hottest, 5,000 SHU.
