Some disaster has befallen society: you have to secure a month of food for you and three other people. How do you do it? - eviltoast

Let’s assume no zombies or other supernatural occurrences, but could be plenty of people being shitty, consequences thereof, or natural disasters

Edit: to expand on this, presumably if society has temporarily or permanently collapsed there would be issues with things like deliveries, security, digital transactions, utility service etc. Feel free to use whichever scenario seems most likely to you, I’m asking more because I was thinking how screwed I’d be if I was just out of food after say, seven days.

    Well if your out after a month you’ll be screwed anyway. But right now I could survive a couple of months with three others.

    I already have 2 freezers full of meat, frozen veg, herbs, ingredients like galanga, pandan leaves, lemon grass, Thai basil, hot peppers and what not.

    Canned beans, corn, other veg, pasta, couscous, flower for chapatis and parathas, boxes full of spices from all over the world, and I always buy 18 kilo bags of Thai rice.

    Beans and rice, so nice. Cheap and fulfilling.

    Yeah…but I guess I should learn urban farming. If I see someone hungry I need to cook, I can’t leave anyone starving, so this stuff would be gone in days.
