And do you know, it really hasn't been so hard. We just bought 20 bags of wheat, my husband found a place to get 60 pound cans of honey, and now all we have to do is get a couple of cases of powdered milk. But she's not alone, through 14 years of helping people prepare, I found most people's storage starts looking just like hers. Statistics show most of us won't survive on such a diet for several reasons. Many people are allergic to wheat and may not be aware of it until they are eating it meal after meal.
Wheat is too harsh for young children.
They can tolerate it in small amounts but not as their main staple. We get tired of eating the same foods over and over and many times prefer to not eat, than to sample that particular food again. This is called appetite fatigue. Young children and older people are particularly susceptible to it. Store less wheat than is generally suggested and put the difference into a variety of other grains, particular ones your family likes to eat.
