I just saw this TV commercial for a one month supply of freeze dried
food that could last up to 25 years in storage without opening it for what I'd call a ridiculous price unless you really could live on this for a month, then it seems cheap, comparatively. They offered other "freebies" if YOU ACT NOW. What do you think of this? Do you have plans just in case there's some weird disaster that contaminates all food except for freeze dried? lol http://www.wisefoodstorage.com/ -- ღ.¸¸.œ«*¨`*œ¶ Cheryl |

They are as the grasshopper who fiddles as the ant prepares for the winter. The Samoans on this rock certainly might be because a lot of them are Latter Day Saints and their church recommends they have a year's supply of food in storage. This is probably a good idea since we are living on a tiny rock in the middle of nowhere. Me, I'm throwing in the the grasshoppers and livin' it up while I can! |

My "emergency stock" consists of items like peanut butter, Spam (yes), canned chicken and tuna, etc.--in other words, things that can be eaten without cooking them. Incidentally, freeze-dried chicken is one of my cats' favorite treats. I'm not going to try it, though! MaryL |

If we had to, we could live for a month on that. However we would have to carefully ration the food and it would get rather tedious after a time. If for some reason I did have to get the emergency food, I would just get a bucket of it at Winco. It seems reasonably cheap. |

Well they are handy in that they are complete but you are right that they are expensive and they are much higher calorie than you require if you are not very physically active. I prefer to store standard foods they we are used to eating. -- http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/shop/ |

What use is dehydrated food if the water power and fuel supplies have all shut down? Or if you're too injured to prepare dried food. Far better to hold a store of stuff you might enjoy eating normally and can incorporate into normal cooking; like small ringpull cans of fish or cold meat; dried fruit, nuts, honey.Small one-meal-size cans because if there was no fridge power, you can't safely store opened big ones for long. Stuff which in emergency could all be eaten cold without cooking; maybe a supply of multivitamin +iron pills. Bottle some tap water and change it occasionally. You don't need to store any of it for 25 years, just use (and replace) them occasionally in the course of normal life. Janet UK |

The food would likely be of no benefit to me although there might be a fruit or vegetable that I could eat. We have been asked in the past to donate various things to the school, but rather than going out and getting the items, I just gave them money. That was an option too. |

Bakker, for example, is notorious for shilling his buckets of survivalist food that costs hundreds of dollars and last 20 years (just in time for the world to end!). But how does that food taste? We got chef Greg Lauro to cook up some of these evangelical survivalist food items and it's absolutely disgusting. Like, gross doesnt even begin to describe it. The food€”which basically only requires the addition of hot water to cook€”ends up being like beige slop and red vomit and liquid sludge. Lauro described the taste as "paper mache" and "a bathroom at a bar at the end of the night in a college town" and "one of the worst thing Ive ever eaten in my life" to describe the taste and smell of the food.

I was channel surfing one day and caught a couple minutes of him making an appearance. He had recently been released from jail and he introduced a young black kid he had met in jail and talked about how he had delivered the word of the Lord to that unfortunate young man who had experienced a horrible life and committed serious crimes but who he was able to find salvation. That is how he came to realize why God had out him through his legal ordeals, the trial and prison. It was all so that he could find this young man and save him. If people believe that sort of crap they will believe anything. |

My guess is that the foods is gonna taste a lot better. I have had these before. They are quite acceptable. If I was in a disaster area, they would be a godsend. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uSXSlet-6k |
