A lot more reasons for food storage than natural disasters!

The main reason people think of food storage is to survive a natural disaster such as an earthquake, tornado, hurricane, etc. Although these happen seemingly every month throughout the world, their are other reason why a healthy amount of food storage would be more than recommend to have.
On more and more occasions, especially in our current financial situations around the world, jobs are becoming scarce and money much tighter. Even in good times, people lose jobs, have unexpected expenses and things just come up. How many times would an extra few hundred bucks come in handy?

Enter Food Storage!

It doesn't take a major problem to use your food storage. Food storage is a great way to supplement your normal everyday cooking to help stretch your food budget. By introducing food storage into your everyday diet, you will save a considerable amount of money, which is great in times when money is tight. I have a great friend that lived primarily on food storage for about a year when he was in Medical School. With his time devoted strictly on school and his wife a stay at home mother, food storage was their sustaining life line. My wife and I on occasions dip into our food storage, one, to rotate and two, its a great way to feed an entire family on less money.
Don't let the thoughts of "it will never happen to me" keep you from preparing your self and family for a rainy day. Whether a natural or personal disaster, Food Storage is your life line in troubled times. We cannot rely on others or the government when trouble hits. Its our responsibility to make sure we have what we need!

Can't we all just get... Some Food Storage?

The best quotes I have heard this past week are:
"I would think that the government has it down now with all those recent disasters we've had!" &
"A 72 hour kit should be enough, FEMA will be around to help after that!"

I couldn't believe my ears. After presenting an hour worth of information on why we all need to have at least some kind of a food storage reserve on hand, I got this response from a few people. It made me sick. Ill I could say was, hope you have fun standing in line for those long hours waiting for your 1 semi hot meal a day with all the other thousands doing the same. And that's if you even can get that.

PEOPLE, FEMA or any other arm of the government will not be able to help everyone following an emergency and nor should they. They have more important things to do! Yes they will help, but its up to us to take care of our families and let them worry about infrastructure and other needs that they are responsible for. If you need examples of this, take a look at every disaster in recent history. Katrina, Ike, the financial crises or even a personal financial crises.

We have the opportunity to get prepared, take care of our family and have what we need if the unthinkable happens. We have the responsibility to take care of our children, provide them with proper nutrition and the basic necessities of life. If we fail to prepare at least a little, how can we blame anyone else or rely on a rescue?
