I've been storing up food for a little while, trying to build up my pantry.

I'm not buying as much food as I used to. I am trying to clean out my cupboards more than I ever used to.

I'm not a survivalist; I'm a mom, I'm a researcher, and you know, anybody who's a parent knows you have to have things ready for your kids.

It was probably the best disaster preparedness effort (Marin County's) ever seen. We're all better prepared for the next earthquake because of it.

Big food companies flatter us by telling us how busy we are and they simultaneously convince us that we are helpless. I am moderately busy, but not all that helpless. Neither are you.

and they're trying to open cans of food with a screw driver.
