But this plan skips meat, and in my personal opinion, is kind of bland.
I'm not a Mormon, by the way.
Can goods are nice, but you have to watch the shelf life. Rotate your stock.
Rice and pasta are also good, as well as dried beans.
But most importantly, if you don't like it now, or don't eat it currently, don't stock it for an emergency. During a major incident, you'll have enough issues without finding your food stock is filled with things you hate...
