“I receive letters from many of my friends stating they “Don’t get it why store food.”
Here is the reason why. This Is the reason why.

This morning I received the following letter from Glenn Beck, Off the Grid News letter.
Dear Emma,
About 6 weeks ago, we brought you a disturbing report about how the government is stockpiling survival food at unprecedented levels. Typically, FEMA (the Federal Emergency Management Agency) keeps 6 million meals on hand for any kind of emergency or natural disaster. But recently, they put out RFPs (Request for Proposal) indicating their interest in buying, literally, hundreds of millions of emergency meals to the tune of about a billion dollars. This is a huge purchase for a minor government agency. And they’re not the only government agency getting in line to buy.
Government orders have now locked up the capacity of all the major manufacturers of emergency food supplies. If you’ve tried recently to buy a larger quantity, you probably had trouble finding anyone who could fill your order.
And it’s only going to get worse, for several reasons.
Global food shortages are having an impact on the survival food market.
There’s almost no surplus food anymore that can be preserved for emergencies. As fast as most crops are ready for harvest, they’re being used to feed people. Food reserves are at alarmingly low levels. Emergency food manufacturers are having trouble getting what they need to produce emergency food supplies.
And then there was Japan.
The Japanese triple disaster – earthquake, tsunami, nuclear power plant meltdown – has been a huge blow to the dehydrated food industry. Why? Because Japan has a robust, food-processing industry. Many U.S.-based emergency food suppliers send their food to Japan for processing and then ship it back here for packaging. With radioactive contamination now detected on inbound cargo ships and airline passengers, it’s anybody’s guess as to how long it will be until these emergency food shipments are deemed unsafe. Everything coming out of Japan is suspect, and will be for a long time to come.
By the way, you may be relieved to know that our suppliers never have their food processed in Japan. It’s all done here in the USA. But that’s cold comfort, because to be honest, we aren’t quite sure where we stand with our supplier. (More about that in a minute.)
How should you prepare for “the new normal?”
Three words: get in line.
Three more words: get a lot.
Industry shortages will persist for months, if not years, to come. Emergency food supplies operate outside the normal “just-in-time” economy we’re used to, for all the reasons we’ve talked about. That’s why, if you hope to have any emergency food stored, you absolutely must plan ahead.
In the past, we have been able to keep supply lines open and fulfill all our customers’ orders for emergency food supplies. But unfortunately, that’s no longer the case. Our supplier has been approached by an anonymous buyer to purchase any and all remaining inventory – including future production. The good news: we still have orders in the pipeline, and those orders will be honored.
After that? … Well, let’s just say that we’re doing some hard negotiating so that we can continue to receive at least some supplies of emergency food, even if it’s less than usual. But there are simply no guarantees. We live in a time of great uncertainty.
If you’ve been putting off your decision to buy survival food, you can’t afford to put it off any longer. When you finally decide to get some, it could be too late. That’s why we suggest you consider getting our Safety Net package. The Safety Net food package contains a full one-year supply of food for four adults, or two adults and four children. This amount of emergency food will keep you well-fed in just about any emergency situation.
Here’s the thing, though. We don’t have any to sell you right now. However, we do have those pending orders in the pipeline with our supplier, and we expect to be able to begin selling again to our customers in a few weeks. When we do, you’ll want to be first in line.
