Title: Cheap, nutritious food that lasts a long time?
Post by: paulsed1 on September 22, 2008, 09:21:20 PM
A friend of mine who is a day trader is forseeing some bad things for the future of the dollar. He has advised me to go out and stock up on foods in the above category in the event that oil and/or gold prices get crazy, because that in turn can effect food prices. Unfortunately, with our love for the iron game, our calorie and nutritional needs are different from average folk (like you need to be told that.)

So far I have thought of tuna, rice, MRP's, protein bars, beans. Any other suggestions? Something to cover the flull spectrum of good health. For now I eat plenty of fresh meats and fish, veggies, fruits, oatmeal, wheat pasta, eggs and egg whites. I guess powdered egg whites could be another one.

I am not being paranoid, but things have been happening so fast, this is something we may have to think about. I know one of the few things that keep me sane during tough times are my workouts, so I would hate to have that compromised. Any suggestions or thoughts are welcome, for food choices or the situation in general.

I am only too happy to be considered a conspiracy nutjob, but I don't like the way things are happening every day with this crisis.  Nobody wants to admit this could result in a permanent change in this country because we are too comfortable.  I certainly hope for the best.
