It is always of interest to me what comes out of the pockets of my family's clothes before I put them in the washer. Recently we have been (JOHN has been, with my cheerful support!) updating our emergency preparedness supplies. A 72 hour kit, complete with nasty foods eaten from cans and silver aluminum foil looking blankets, has just been rotated, meaning that old canned food has been replaced by new canned food. The kids have LOVED the result...
capri sun in their lunches for several days (We NEVER buy this syrup drink).
Ravioli on sunday after church (another NEVER buy).
Quaker granola bars (full of EVIL high fructose corn syrup) for snack after school.
and...
pockets full of jolley rancher wrappers and starburst packaging.
Ironically, I also found the receipt from John's trip to the grocery store to buy new capri sun, ravioli, quaker granola bars and jolley ranchers.
Our kids can't wait for an emergency!
p.s. though I know all the items listed above will probably be cancer causing and certainly diabetes inducing, in an earthquake they would also be lifesaving, so go figure ;)

I love it! You are right, just as long as you can eat you will be happy, no matter the nutrition value of the food. :-)
