I'd rather have the food and throw it away instead of not having it. If money is that tight you choose between 100 pounds of wheat or junk land, and then each month money is so tight you can barely keep payments up, when do you ever have food? You need to do something else. Sell blood. Something.James M Dakinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01382139289994087931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-40000263686009320622016-07-23T19:21:05.317-07:002016-07-23T19:21:05.317-07:00Exactly.
And if you have the room and privacy you...Exactly. <br />And if you have the room and privacy you can easily store YEARS worth of food for a family of four with only a little ingenuity in a house. The problem is that the family will be evicted from the house before they eat all the food - and if it is a rental it would even sooner to eviction. That's why I stand behind a few months food (max of 18 months) in a mortgaged house, and only a max of 4 months food in a rental. Save the money toward the Junk land instead and pay a couple years taxes ahead THEN store the rest of the food and other supplies on the junk land (IN PEST PROOF CONTAINERS).

I'll be getting some wheat for backup food, but probably won't touch it in any event less than a starvation scenario. My understanding is that if you wish to eat healthy wheat, that you're better off eating the spelt berries. Spelt is an ancient relative of wheat, and is said to be more true to its origins, but of course this would have to be verified.<br /><br /><br />“The Problem: Modern wheat is nothing like the grain your mother or grandmother consumed. Today, wheat barely resembles its original form, thanks to extensive genetic manipulations during the 1960s and 1970s to increase the grain's yields. "You cannot change the basic characteristics of a plant without changing its genetics, biochemistry, and its effects on humans who consume it," Dr. Davis notes.”<br /><br />"Dr. Davis makes the case that modern-day wheat is triggering all sorts of health problems, everything from digestive diseases like celiac and inflammatory bowel disease to acid reflux, obesity, asthma, and skin disorders. "If there is a food that yields extravagant, extraordinary, and unexpected benefits when avoided, it is bread," says Dr. Davis. "And I don’t mean white bread, I mean all bread: white, whole wheat, whole grain, sprouted, organic, French, Italian, fresh, day-old…all of it."<br /><br />http://www.msn.com/en-us/health/nutrition/50-foods-you-should-never-eat/ss-BBodjvN?li=BBnba9O&ocid=mailsignout#image=2<br /><br />Waynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07074851290743440661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-30793729963984098112016-07-21T14:00:44.892-07:002016-07-21T14:00:44.892-07:00No. I've heard different things.

The same plastic is used, only the mold release on the orange ones is toxic, and less expensive for the manufacturer. Both the orange and white HD buckets are .075" thick. The better ones are at Winco, .090" thick. A thicker bucket will last longer and will resist the ovaling out of the top of the bucket when carried under load without a lid, and hence take longer for cracks to form (personal experience from hauling a lot of 5 gallon buckets full of water).<br />Peace outAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-82848171493807954822016-07-20T14:34:50.345-07:002016-07-20T14:34:50.345-07:00I hate dry ice!
