If “variety is the spice of life,” certainly there is a need to inventory a variety of foods to support the family when stress interrupts routines.
     Someone once said that “the greatest contemporary invention that has done the most to destroy mans’ productivity is the drive-up window.”
     We are great at eating.  We don’t resort to drugs, alcohol, or tobacco as crutches on rough terrain;  but, when we come under stress we do eat more.  Metabolisms go up because it takes more energy when we fret and worry.  That’s when we need most the food fuels we are accustomed to eating – usually at the drive-up.  Under stress, we seek the familiar, and it is always easiest to depend on someone else to provide.
     Basic stored foods together with recipes and know-how are self-sufficiency essentials when you need to make your own blessings.  Good food is good first aid.  Check your kit contents and inventory what you eat, and eat what you inventory.
