Exactly!!! I remember a story about an older woman in New Orleans. While people were going hungry and thirsty and really suffering. This older woman had a large store of home canned food, she survived just fine. I think at least on some level, we have a moral obligation to have some stored food for emergencies. I’ve read that most American’s only have about a weeks worth of food. That, is foolishness and just asking for trouble.

During WWII my brother-in-law’s parents had a ranch in West Texas and kept a large store of home canned food to get through the winter.
One day someone dropped a dime on them to the FEDS, and their entire stock of home canned foods was confiscated because they wer “hoarding food”.
They survived that winter because they had another cellar hidden out in the hills with just enough to get through.
