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?

If this sparks a little desire to get motivated and take care of your family, log onto www.marlenesmagic.com and that will help get you on your way to peace of mind and thinking ahead for a rainy day!
