I know a gal from Vietnam that after the fall lived on two small balls of rice every day. Her younger sister died though of starvation.

I have a bunch of rice AND a bunch of beans.

Nice basics.

Some people don’t want to adopt a diet of canned foods and have to rotate them and eat them, they don’t want to invest in expensive freeze-dried stuff, they aren’t going to move out of their condo and start raising chickens and canning, but they want a 30-day cushion ‘just in case’ for something that is never going to happen, but...............

Walmart sells a 20-pound bag of rice for $10.97, stick the bag inside a cardboard box to keep from tearing it, and that rice will last for decades, throw in a few cans of tuna and spam, and check it every few years, that isn’t the end of the world survivalist stuff but it will cover a person for a few weeks, giving a person time to think and to see what is going on, and for the system to catch-up.

Hence the two balls of rice a day?
