By Just In Case Jack 2 Comments

Before we get to our list of non perishable foods, I want to share some shocking food statistics:

Approximately 1/3 of worldwide food production for humans gets wasted every year (about 1.3 BILLON tonnes)!

Per person, waste by North American and European consumers is between 210 and 250 lbs per year!
842 MILLION people in the world do not have enough food…about 12% of the world’s population!

There’s nothing that frightens me more than a nuclear attack.

Not only are they the most destructive device known to man, but surviving one might be worse than being wiped out at ground zero.

Yes, carbs, the “bad guy” in just about every new diet out there.

Sure, you could cook a meal using fire, but solar ovens don’t require any “extra” resources.

It’s using the “free,” virtually unlimited, readily available fuel and putting it to good use. [Read more…]
