I disagreed vehemently as everybody knows that milk comes from the basement, specifically the milk machine in the basement (.35 a qt way way back then). I wasn't convinced of their veracity until I actually saw a cow being milked later in life. I thank the good lord that my folks got me out of there at the age of 14. We moved to the Blue Ridge Mountains 80 miles west south west of DC. There I was lucky enough to receive a proper education from the locals (aka Hillbillies). This was the mid 70s, back when as soon as you got outside of DC 20-30 miles you were in the REAL Virginia which was still very "southern" in its culture. I went from running water, electricity and steam radiators to using the out house, when it got dark, it got dark unless you lit a kerosene lamp, and if you didn't cut enough wood for the wood stove your behind got cold. At first I hated it, then came to love it, and now I miss it. But I digress, my point was that there are probably people out there who think no further than the store or furnace. The real problem being that if there ever is a disruption in the food / energy supply, those people are going to swarm like locusts out of the urban areas.
