Well, we should all be rotating through our perishables so that expiration isn't so much of an issue. (I've got a gargantuan jar of peanut butter that I'm going to have to start using this week).
Also, the moment I started prepping was the moment my life made a dramatic positive turn in many ways. I would not have wanted to delay that change in myself even for a moment. Before I became a prepper I had the average '2.5 friends' - now I can't count how many very fine people I've developed wonderful relationships with (one of them just sent me an excellent machete and Ka-Bar combat knife as a gift!)
The day I started prepping (almost 4 years ago) I could only swim 7 laps in my neighborhood pool ... now I'm up to 70 laps.
If I could go back in time I would have started prepping thirty years ago.
With all that said I will agree that I've heard many writers starting to tone down on the sense of urgency. However, for those who don't think this nation could catch on fire in an instant I have but two words ... "Trayvon Martin".
Yup. I'm in much better physical shape too. I have a daily exercise routine that is sustained by my desire to be in reasonable condition for SHTF.

We've recently had a Trayon Washington incident here.
A White 42 year old mother of two was gunned down by a 17 year old Black guy because she yelled for him to slow down his car on her street. He stopped, got out of the car a shot her dead. Things like this are on the increase.
