Four Food Storage Plans Sue Gregg Why Food Storage?
Survivors of the Great Depression of the 1930's learned to save. They still wind string into balls, save glass jars, and accumulate plastic containers as well. Canned peaches, pears, preserves, tomatoes, jams, and jellies as well as sacks of potatoes and onions, filberts and walnuts for cracking, a basket or two of apples, and a case of ripening pears fill their well-stocked pantries in anticipation of tornados, blizzards, and economic crises. In a mostly rural America butchering and pickling, plucking and picking were part of their everyday life. The stores they put away would last well into the next growing and hunting season and beyond. The mere two to three day supply of food in most American city dwellers' homes today would have been cause for concern in pre-World War II rural America.

The second half of the 20th century, marked a time of unparalleled prosperity despite the Cold War nuclear threat, the Korean Conflict, Vietnam, the Gas Crunch (that's when Americans lined up for gas on odd and even days), and the Gulf War. The computerized robotic monsters of sci-fi fiction could be defeated. But we never dreamed how the benign omission of two digits from computer chips capable of outperforming the World Grand Master Chess Champion could cause so much concern called Y2k. How could such a blessing harbor such a curse? Or could it also be a blessing in disguise to motivate some wise preparation for any number of unexpected challenges to the uninterrupted flow of food to our tables. More...
