Food Storage

[SeattleUte]

I'm guessing LDS leadership talks a lot more about the necessity of food storage than about the need for higher education for men and women in order to be marketable in the workplace be able to fend for yourself and provide for your children watever your gender, or about frugality and saving.

I bet they tell you wine and coffee are forbidden, but don't say a word about those corn syrup laden colored drinks that have helped bring on the diabetes epidemic, or the dangers of artificial sweetners.

They are always so up to date and relevant in their advice. I noticed how Hinkley cited the OT story of Joseph and his brothers and the famine in Egypt as an illustration of the necessity of food storage.

again, you've been gone so long that you have no idea what you are talking about.

I should also add that I gave a talk in sacrament meeting that was solely dedicated to the important of both boys and girls getting a higher education, at my Bishop's request.

Wrong again.

Without further deliveries, it takes less than two weeks for a city to run out of food.

On an individual basis, I am with you. There is nothing wrong with having food storage and 6 months worth of monthly expenditures in the bank in cash.

Any family could be hit with their own personal calamity.

Wrong again.

Also the church at large's focus on education:

What happens if your food storage is in your basement, and then the flood comes and ruins your food storage?

for one, your food storage should be in water tight containers. second off, you had better plan for that contingency.

Nor have I. But I'm always hearing something about the Perpetual Education Fund.

Hmm, maybe we will need to rely on our food storage after all:
