Then THEY are the ones doing something wrong and not society.

But: here's something nobody's yet addressed in this thread. You began by stating that you've worked for 8 years in the Emergency Preparedness industry, specifically storable foods. And I'm here to tell you that your field is second only to the despicable funeral indusry for selling overpriced, unnecessary products to vulnerable people. You vultures started this sham back with Y2K, sharpened your talons with 2012 and you've only gotten worse ever since as you shameessly promote hurricanes and every other natural disaster you can hype.

First you prey upon their fears and then compound the injustice by selling grossly overpriced products that are largely CRAP. Your entire selling point centers around outrageously stupid long-term storage such as 25 years but NEVER point out that if you have to plan on that long a period of survival, society's ALREADY royally fucked and so are your customers, whether their shelves are stocked with your junk or not.

Secondly, there's the taste! That's another heavy selling point you have to punch in your ad copy because people already know it's gonna' taste like a cheap boxed dinner that they know they paid too much for. There are intelligent people on here talking about buying a $3 bag of rice that will last several meals and yet you were hawking a $6 single-seving pouch of Rice-A-Roni with a few dehydrated vegetables thrown in.

Finally, there's your pricing. You charge eight bucks for a "delicious" meal that can be thrown together for under $2 in any kitchen. Of course, that's when you throw in that idiotic 25-year shelf life as justification for raping your customers' wallets and palates alike with your bullshit.

The final nail in your coffin is your obscene profit margins and that's where you sink your lowest -and most resemble those undertakers I mentioned above- as you lure in already unstable people with your worthless products. It literally costs you pennies to produce your garbage with the result that you are cackling at your 2,000% profit margins and getting rich while you do so. THAT'S THE NATURE OF YOUR "INDUSTRY" and it's an affront to human decency itself.
