I spent the storm considering the hurricane cabinet. A necessity in Florida, alongside the pantry supplies and with one gas burner, I can make simple meals for myself and my neighbors. These emergencies are times are when we are lucky, as a nation, to have the food industry pumping out cans and boxes for our consumption. We are blessed beyond reason.
Caroline Walton Mathews Where would we be during a storm without the food industry? We can lobby to make changes, but we can't ignore those inner grocery aisles completely. We can cook fresh and locally grown foods until we're blue in the face but, twenty days out from a devastating storm, you won't see me making mayonnaise, pasta, and sauces from scratch. I'll be opening cans of tuna, chicken, sardines and salmon, veggies, and fruit whether they are too salty and full of food additives or not.
