And people laugh at me for hoarding MREs. Next year, I'll have the only *fit to eat food in the country :^D


*the term "fit to eat" is for marketing purposes only. There is no guarantee of enjoyment with the provided meals. Exclusions and limitations apply, and all sales are final. Ameriqual®
 
The Amish and Menonites have things figured out too, they raise their own food and nobody from the government is involved and they don't have to worry about supply chains etc.
 
I use a medium size cabinet for storing glass pots, tin cans and herbs and i have a freezer for the meat and fast food or to freeze in whatever i cooked.
Since the stores are open everyday, i get the fresh things, whatever i need in the moment i need it.
When i cook, i cook for 1 up to 3 days in advance. That way i can eat at home like a 5 star restaurant but not having to cook every day.
Long live the microwave and the oven.

I can't overstate how unpopular the idea of eating chlorinated chicken is over here. Its not a political thing its a visceral "yeeeeurgh" feeling when its mentioned!

LOL, this is fucking rich, this admin pretending they give a shit about science:
“The U.K. maintains non-science-based standards that severely restrict U.S. exports of safe, high-quality beef and poultry products,” the White House said in a statement.
 
I heard somewhere we don't do that much anymore. There's another chemical bath that's more commonly used. Peroxide and something else if I remember right. Whatever. I'm all for Euros telling us to fuck ourselves. Even better, add the white house's phone number to blocklist, and pretend the US doesn't exist. Never mention it, never discuss it, the US simply isn't there. That would piss off Trump. He tries to contact a country, and gets crickets in return. It would be glorious!

Map reveals how obesity rates in the U.S compares to Europe

The map gained attention online where people have been seeing how their area compares.
www.newsweek.com www.newsweek.com

The color-coded visualization shared by Brilliant Maps shows that in many U.S. states, obesity rates exceed 30 percent, with some surpassing 40 percent. Southern and Midwestern states, such as Mississippi and West Virginia, report the highest levels, while Western states like Colorado and Hawaii have comparatively lower rates, though still above most European nations.

Comparatively, obesity rates in most European countries remain below 25 percent, with some nations, particularly in Southern and Western Europe, reporting levels under 15 percent.

Avon boy became deathly ill as part of E. coli outbreak; FDA not naming company responsible

The 10-year-old developed kidney failure after eating contaminated lettuce. The source of the outbreak that made 89 people sick remains a mystery.

...

The company responsible for that illness remains a mystery.

The FDA refuses to identify the source of the contaminated lettuce, leaving patients and their families searching for answers about who to hold responsible.

The agency closed the investigation and did not issue a recall.

It said threat to public health was over and told 13News it would not release the name of the supplier because of “trade secrets.”

I could stay on my property for a year+, and I wouldn't run out of food. It just happens that way, and not intentionally. Except for toiletpaper. I now keep a stockpile of toiletpaper on hand instead of buying as-needed. Who would've thought toiletpaper would go out of stock? People are idiots.

I got to experiment with my food storage about a month ago. I crushed a finger at the end of April, and didn't have transportation til mid July. I got to go to a store twice, but otherwise I lived off what I had. I didn't make an appreciable dent in my stored food. Aside from missing fresh vegetables, there was no end in sight when I'd run out of food.

A couple notes... My canned vegetables weren't varied enough. I still need to widen the range I have on hand. Sliced carrots work really well in a can, and I think I'd like to get more spinach and greens.

Knäckebröd(crispbread) goes a long way for a bread replacement. Slices of cheese and bake it in an oven, crumble it into soup, use flavored/sweetened nut butters for dessert... It's pretty versatile. If it gets stale, a short time in the toaster over refreshes it. I made a post in P&N about the tariffs fucking me, and not being able to get julknäcke this year. It isn't released til early winter, but I think I might make an order of regular bread before the end of this month. Grocery Outlet had some last year, and I bought a bunch, so they should get more if it becomes available, but that isn't something you can count on. Shipping is ZOMG expensive, and not being able to get julknäcke takes a lot of the value away, but I think it'll be worth having on hand, even if I can't get exactly what I want.

Anyone even vaguely interested, Wasa is knäckebröd. It's the worst example of it I've had(Leksands is the best), but you can get it at just about any decent US grocery.

I'm a fan of those Wasa rye crisps, my grandma always liked to have those out with some cheese and meats as a light meal or a snack!

We dont have nearly a years worth of supplies in our pantry, but, we do like to keep some dried vegetable blend, and at least a few different kinds of dried mushrooms (usually oyster mushrooms, and then some kind of blend), which help a ton to supplement and add variation to the canned stuff..
 
When I say "Wasa is the worst", you have to keep in mind you're on the fine edge there. They're all bland. and in broad terms, are the same thing. That both makes it easy to be both happy and sad. Happy because you have knäckebröd of some kind, but the fine differences really make a big difference. Since there isn't a lot of flavor, small differences go a long way, and texture is a bigger deal. I find Wasa a little too stout, and not as "richly" flavored. They do make a fantastic kanel version, that's in small rounds. I don't think it's available on the shelf here, but it tastes great with peanutbutter, or speculoos spread.

I think I could go 4-5 years on the toilet paper I have. Bought a bundle at Costco almost a year ago and still haven't finished the one from before that.

You likely won't find anything else in the traditional Swedish style, but one that's a little different that you might see somewhere is FinnCrisp...

These are light, and very crisp, still bland, but they're my favorite Nordic style for cheese/crackers, and to put fish on.
