One-Year Emergency Food Supply for One Adult

[sevin]

I have found this list very helpful and thought I would share it.

A lot of survival food sites charge around $4000 for a one-year food supply for 1 person. It is far less expensive if you just go to Price Club or Sam's Club or wherever and buy the things on this list. It'll only cost you about $1700.

This is vegetarian only and contains hydrolyzed vegetable protein -- just as bad as MSG.

Personally, I prefer buying things for storage slow and steady. I have it arranged in categories, then by expiration date. Everything that's going to expire within 6 months is in the kitchen, everything that's going to expire within a month gets offered to my brother and his gf, if they don't want it--it gets donated. And I know not to buy more of it because I won't use it.

Since I got into doing this, because of you guys freaking me the hell out, I've actually disciplined myself into baking frequently. And man, I am good at it now.

So here, I'll just show off the bread one last time:

I think you confused TEXTURED vegetable protein with hydrolyzed vegetable protein..

TVP® does NOT have MSG added to it, but glutamic acid, one of the components of the gluten that is a vegetable protein, will be spun off and bond with sodium in the hydrolizing process, so that monosodium glutamate WILL be naturally formed. However, this is more an issue of hysterical reporting. You will find more naturally occuring MSG in other grain foods than you will in TVP®.

Someone responded to the Karen’s Kitchen article by saying:

> You will find more naturally occurring MSG in other grain foods than you will in TVP®.

This is true however, there are two kinds of MSG, free and bound. It’s the free form that is a flavor enhancer and in natural foods the free form is about 100 times less abundant (see wikipedia table).
