When you were a child you probably remember your parents starting some sort of food storage with their old fashioned cans that had to be opened with a pokey style can opener. All though they never had to put their food storage into effect it was still wise of them to have it.
It is understandable when you see someone from the thirties that wants to be prepared, though most people that were alive back then are no longer living now. That would have been a trying thing to live through, you know, the great depression and junk.
It would really go to show that sometimes things just all go wrong. Now days, oppressive hunger may not be as plausible as it was back in the thirties, that is unless you do not already have a food storage of your own.
As it turns out, you are not as protected as you think. If the grocery stores didn't get any shipments, how would you possible get any food?
Keep in mind that the fast food restaurants have long been out of business, ever since an H bomb melted the McDonalds headquarters (hypothetically speaking from a futuristic perspective.) Do you have livestock or a garden?
No, of course you don't, you have a week's worth of Grandma Tobbler's bread and some PB and J. This will last you a week tops, and that is only if you do not have any friends or family that expect to be fed by you.
What you need to do is store up on grain and wheat in some vacuum concealed containers. Wheat grain is very good for you, containing all sorts of nutrients including protein to fortify muscle strength.
However, this would be terribly boring to eat every single day without any sort of sweetener or salt adder apparatus. A great sweetener is sugar or honey, both are going to taste great, and both have shelf-lives that are ridiculously long.
Just remember to keep them in a vacuum concealed container. If you are concerned about your honey turning crystalized don't be.
All you have to do is get a boiling pot of water to return he honey to its liquid state, simple as pie. Be sure to not store your sugar or salt in a heated space, it could create some molecular bonding and create a need for a sugar cube grater, which is a total pain.
It is best to just avoid the clumping of sugar and stuff by keeping the food storage in lower temperatures. Destry Masterson is a health and nutrition expert. She publishes articles for http://www.dailybread.com and recommends them for food storage.
