FOOD WHEN THINGS ARE SCARCE

This is from a PS&R.  Don't shoot me - I am just the messenger....:

“The little gardens and the few trees are very valuable. I remember when the sisters used to say, ‘Well, but we could buy it at the store a lot cheaper than we can put it up.’ But that isn’t quite the answer, is it, Sister Spafford? Because there will come a time when there isn’t a store. I remember long years ago that I asked a very prominent grocer who had a chain of grocery stores, ‘How long would your supply of groceries last if you did not have trucks to bring in new supplies?’ And he said, ‘Maybe we could stretch it out two weeks from our storehouses and from our supplies.’ People could get awfully hungry after two weeks were over” (Spencer W. Kimball, in Conference Report, Apr. 1974, pp. 184–85).

My lead at work is LDS - and appears to be following this counsel.  What a relief to have someone who is on the same page - or at least in the same book......
