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. ⏰ Timestamps: 00:00 – Intro: The nightmare scenario nobody wants to face 03:12 – The $49.5 billion food trade deficit nobody’s talking about 12:05 – Why the American farmer is going extinct (average age 58+) 25:30 – The regulatory double-standard destroying U.S. agriculture 40:15 – Labor laws & costs that make growing food here impossible 50:20 – What YOU must do RIGHT NOW to food-proof your family Stock up.
