[quote:Anonymous Coward 79048343:MV80OTQ5MTE5XzkwNDk0MzgxXzlCMjhGMjNF] [quote:Anonymous Coward 80891051:MV80OTQ5MTE5XzkwNDkzMTk1XzFCMERFQkIx] In 1955, Eisenhower’s Federal Civil Defense Administration launched a propaganda campaign they called “Grandma’s Pantry,” calling for each household to have ready a seven-day supply of food and water for an attack. “Grandma’s Pantry, the symbol of preparedness. Unexpected company? Grandma always had plenty for everyone,” explained one radio ad. “In an emergency or during evacuation in case of enemy attack it's too late to plan. You’ll have to depend on your own resources — on Grandma’s Pantry.” Women’s magazines carried articles like “Take these steps now to save your family,” and Sears, Roebuck and Co. erected government-produced “Grandma’s Pantry” exhibits in 500 of its stores, encouraging people to stock up on Hawaiian Punch, Campbell’s soup, Tang, boxes of cornflakes, and candy bars. [/quote] And heck, LDS Mormon's are preached to have a 6month supply, the LDS EVEN HAVE THEIR OWN LONG TERM FOOD SYSTEM you can find on Google but MUST BE A MEMBER TO BUY (1/3 the cost of mountain house!)
