growing up poor in farming country in ND and spending 7 yrs in Uncle Sam’s Yacht Club, I can no longer stomach the thought of having to eat canned food, however hunger is the best seasoning. I have put “storage” in all of the little nooks and crannies in the house, the best was the old cistern, able to fit a full pallet into that unused space!

None of these three people were in the military so have no reason for an aversion to canned food except in their minds. Most of the Walton food was canned by them straight out of the fields - it has yet to be cooked and some of it is actual powder since that is the only way to have that product. I do have grocery stored canned food, also.
Fresh food is excellent but if it is not available, canned grocery store food will keep you alive. My mother canned most of her life, and we ate that food every winter. This attitude, “I won’t eat anything out of a can”, is ridiculous. If an emergency happens and they refuse canned food, even the Walton food, they can go die.
