6. There is already no meat at the local Food Lion near me.

Smithfield, the ones who make Gwaltney, Armour and lots of other canned meat products, was the scene of one of the biggest outbreaks yet.

We are going to be in some serious trouble with this. It won't be just meat. It will be all food before long, unless you are good at gardening.

The apocalypse is real. It is really happening and it ain't nothing like in the movies. It's worse than the movies could ever imagine, and that is without zombies. At least we don't have zombies, yet. That's the only real good news I'm seeing so far.
