Food Storage and Children

We've all been told to store rice, beans and wheat.  Do you eat those items now in your daily diet?  Do your children?  If you must go directly from your twinkie and McDonald's diet to your survival diet you will have a couple of problems.  First, how much toilet paper do you have stored?  Yes, adding a lot of fiber to your diet all at once will cause a problem.  Second, you say that you aren't eating your rice, beans and wheat now because no one really likes those foods.  WELL?  What will happen if there is a major disaster and you have no choice?  Do you think you will eat those food then?  Do you think your children will eat those foods then?  The answer is NO they will honestly starve to death with food in the pantry.  NOW is the time to slowly add those foods to daily diets.  Make tacos and get them used to eating beans.  Make bread using 1/3 whole wheat to the recipe. Add rice to the diet so that your family will be familiar with eating it.  By adding these foods to your diet NOW you can get your family used to eating these foods, get their bodies used to eating extra fiber AND save money on your food bill!!!   Let me know how this goes for your family.
