I'm a "Mormon" convert of 12 years. LDS food storage guidelines have changed over the years. Currently we are asked to start with a three-month supply of foods we regularly eat, then increase to include items, such as grains and legumes, that can sustain life for a year. New studies show many of these items will last for 30 years when properly canned and stored - no need to rotate! The purpose is to provide for our families and neighbors in times of hardship, such as unemployment, natural disaster, etc. I rest assured that my family has enough to allow us to take care of ourselves if my husband becomes unemployed and not have to rely on welfare or a bailout. |
