A prudent person foresees danger and takes precautions. The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences.
Proverbs 27:12

When transport and the supply chain shuts down, there are only 72 hours of the necessities in each grocery store.

Why nothing about eating the neighbors?

Why should there be? I mean we have already gotten to a point where that happens and there isn't even a food shortage.

Well I’m going to keep giving my neighbors stuff from the garden just in case.

I couldn’t help but notice that the picture was of the “Snack Center” of the grocery store.
I would like to see a comparison with the dried beans, baking supplies , and canned goods sections :-)
A bag of chips won’t last you too long, but a few canned goods, flour, sugar, & beans could get you through a week. And be much better for you too.
(I cannot understand why so few people know a days can cook, I mean just basic stuff - Wish schools spent more on this & less on “diversity celebration”)

My neighbors think I’m generous but I’m just farming.

I think that topic is covered in the second half of the SSS (shoot, shove, and shut up) guide under S BBQ SS.

Well I suggest you just remember:
Quark: "Let me tell you something about humans, nephew. They're a wonderful, friendly people as long as their bellies are full and their holosuites are working. But take away their creature comforts, deprive them of food, sleep, sonic showers, put their lives in jeopardy over an extended period of time and those same friendly, intelligent, wonderful people become as nasty and as violent as the most blood thirsty Klingon."

You don’t have to be Mormon to take advantage of the Cannery. You just have to can for everyone the day that you go, as well as for yourself.
It is a good deal. 5 Years ago, we used the new mylar to put up a year’s supply of food. We are now using it because one member of our household was laid off. Not only is it saving us money at the grocery store, we paid alot less for it back then.
Putting you money into food storage is the same as putting it into stocks. The only difference is that the prices of food usually only go up.
We also made sure that we could independently live without utilities. We have enough money in coins to buy in cash food and gas etc for a month. We have enough water stored in our swimming pool to not only be used by us but our friends, family and neighbors. It would take very little to make it potable. We have propane to cook with and wood to heat/cook with and a generator to provide lights and power.
We also have a 48 hour kit in a backpack for each person in the house, in case we have to leave our home.
It is a good idea to leave these in your vehicle - if you have two vehicles used equally then divide them into two.
Food storage is a little bit like home owners insurance. The more food storage you have the less likely you will be to have to use it in emergencies.

A bag of chips wont last you too long, but a few canned goods, flour, sugar, & beans could get you through a week. A fifty pound bag of high protein bread flour is $24.99 at Costco. Those five gallon food grade plastic buckets are free if you know where to ask for them.
If you plan it right you can have 6 months put back in pretty short order.

For those of us who are medicine dependent, I’d like to see some pointers on medicine storage. I’ve already delved into the food and herbal meds, but would like to have a nice Rx backup first.
