Armed to the TEETH
The potential for a global food crisis is relatively low. Seriously. The current crop yields in the US are strong, the corn crop in particular having an impressive year.

We are actually OVER producing food items like corn and soy because of their convertability to altenative fuels.

The economic crisis is bad, sure. But honestly, if I remember correctly, chicken littles were running around in Sept/Oct of 1999 expecting the world financial situation to collapse and for chaos to erupt in the streets.

It didnt...and while all the talking heads (including Obama...please? Seriously? Loon?! What does HE know? He was a "Community Organizer!") on television are pushing the panic buttons, frankly, it's not the same world it was in the 1920's.

As for me? I AM armed to the Teeth. But that's not specifically because of impending financial crisis. It's because it just makes sense!

Oh, and I have about 6 months of food (rice, beans, fruits and veg and MRE's) just in case...but frankly, MY greatest fear is not that another 100 banks fail. No. MY Greatest Fear is that some radical Islamist gets a suitcase nuke into Baltimore Harbor and touches it off.
