A Very Good Comment
This is a very good comment.
The key is to be sure to use a marker, possibly different colors to mark your food with dates and other important information and rotate these foods. Many of you can just add to your pantry supply everytime you go shopping. A good place to do this type of shopping is at Cosco. And, I would suggest zeroing in on healthy foods as opposed to tasty foods.
You may have to live on a hand full of rice a day. Sound crazy, the NVA and VietCong did this day in and day out for years during the Vietnam war while marching long distances, carrying heavy loads and fighting a war at the same time.
Garden seeds are also important to keep in your refridgerator for later use.
You can save money on large bulk food orders
if you join a local food coop. Or start your own. I did: http://www.dailypaul.com/node/43013
New Hampshire and Ecuador
seed storage
can seeds be frozen for later use?
apparently they can
I found information here about saving seeds. Also, scroll down near the bottom and find the inset called "There's More in Store" http://www.victoryseeds.com/information/brook_seed_saving.html

BBC reports UN warning of food aid rationing
The UN has released a call for additional funding to help with food aid program and to assist farmers, citing 40-80% inflation in prices in some areas -- some countries expanding or implementing rationing (Egypt and Pakistan) and price controls (China and Russia); and since 2000, the U.S. has reduced its surplus.

50 lb gunny sacks of rice will keep a very long time in a cool dry basement or closet. You can survive easily in good health on rice I mean countless millions of orientals have been doing it for thousands of years.
none
there is no pending collapse, but keep a few days supply of non-perishable food in case of things like snow or power outages

To preserve freshness at its peak
store your head in the sand.
Record wheat prices today, USDA officials announcing food price inflation, rationing going on in the rest of the world, and weather that is increasingly unpredictable.
Yeah. 2 or 3 days worth of supplies should cover any emergency.
Truth exists, and it deserves to be cherished.
FOR SURE! That is the

That is the funniest thing I've heard all day!

A gun is a must have!
When you can't afford to by meat anymore,a hunting you will go!We live in the woods and
there are deer all over the place
eating my flowers.Rabbits too.
My boys are excelent shots and
great at fishing.Stocking up on a little food won't last long enough,
you need to learn how to hunt and fish as well.There are also tons of wild blackberries here for desert!Go out in the country and see what you can find.
Haha hunting in downtown
Haha hunting in downtown Seattle with a 40 caliber handgun. lol
i'll do you one better.
In the city you can hunt Possum and Racoon at night when everybodies asleep. All you need is a used Mustang with some bright headlights. lol
"But, indeed, no private person has a right to complain, by suit in court, on the ground of a breach of the Constitution. The Constitution it is true, is a compact, but he is not a party to it."
don't forget
that the gun will also be to protect you and your family from the thugs who want to steal your food and harm you because they are too lazy to fend for themselves.

Don't Forget Your Pets, Too and A Few Other Thoughts
Remember to store food for your pets, too. Having a dog around to protect you and the family is a good thing to do but remember to store food for them as well.
Don't forget your med's. Suggest stocking up on the important one's but mark each one with the date and rotate them.
An extra pair of glasses would be a good thing to have.
Make sure that your whole family has a joint plan and a meet up place and date.
Powdered milk is a very good thing to stock up on.
Make sure that your car is in good working condition and never let your fuel gauge drop below half.
We, as a group of fellow Ron Paul supporters are a family and as such we should all agree on a central communication link. Maybe Mike at DP will be that particular link. Staying in touch will be very important for us and the country. Such a link could provide good information sharing that will be required for at least the first year or two.
Remember this, there is a reason why the Boy Scout's chose as their Motto: "Be Prepared". Then once prepared, go on with your life, help others and be happy.
This advise and all of the other applies to most any disaster and therefore is something that every responsible person should think about doing.
Pets can actually dispose of
Pets can actually dispose of alot of people food waste. It is however important to know what your pet can and should not have. I can't think of too much right now but i can say this. Both chocolate and grapes are very bad for dogs. Also, cats are strict carnivors. So while it probably won't hurt your dog to eat catfood. I high advise against letting your cat eat dogfood. Unless you like cleaning up cat yak. lol
