Side note: I know this is meant for emergency preparedness but it seems like a good overall investment for other situations. Think about it - $1000/ year of food for 1 person, it breaks down to roughly $76/month of food - 1 person.  It's actually less because the actual cost of the food is $800, the rest is shipping & handling. I've been reading through the reviews and it seems like it's getting a good reception.


As for me. I can live off of pasta and noodle bowls so I'm good.


It's better than having to eat Soylent Green eh?
