Most prepper types would be screwed
|
|
in the event of an apocalypse lasting longer than a few months,
|
|
since growing and preparing food usually takes a backseat
|
|
to hoarding guns and ammunition.
|
|
|
|
Despite having precious little else in common with such types,
|
|
I think my own interests put me ahead in their own game.
|
|
|
|
I detest buying food that I know I can make,
|
|
as well as buying food I know I _can't_ make (e.g. Oreos)
|
|
if I can make a suitable alternative.
|
|
|
|
It is _always_ cheaper to eat this way,
|
|
often _significantly_ cheaper.
|
|
|
|
Some food-based hobbies I intend to get into
|
|
now that I have room for the equipment:
|
|
|
|
* ice cream making
|
|
* breadmaking
|
|
* canning
|
|
* pickling
|
|
* winemaking
|
|
|
|
I don't know if I have the patience for growing food,
|
|
but my strict preference for scratch meals
|
|
means that (conservatively) 75% of my household waste is compostable,
|
|
and I'd be silly not to take advantage.
