Canning | Prepping | HOARDING???

Here in TN, we have people who live out in the "boonies." They have no way (especially in the winter) to get to a store. Canning is NOT"hoarding." If you have more than ONE can of anything in your pantry, do you consider that "hoarding?" If COURSE not! 365 canned vegetables is what you need for a year for 2 people. Add 365 canned meat, 365 fruit, etc is over 1000 jars, but doesn't even include jelly, ketchup, mayo, mustard, butter, lard, or any kind of dry goods needed for making bread (flour, yeast, powdered milk, etc). And what if you like peanut butter? How many of THOSE would you be using in a year? Folks, that is not hoarding, that is SURVIVING! A lot of these people don't even have electricity. Anyone who thinks canning your own food is "hoarding" needs to go to a doctor and find out what MEDS you should be taking!
