Do You Know What's More Precious Than Gold, Oil and Cash Combined?

Do you now the answer? It took me awhile to figure it out. At first I thought
it a trick question. After all, what in the world is more precious than gold,
oil and cash combined? Then it came to me.

The answer is food!

Here's an example of why. Remember the Titanic? When the Titanic sank
in the north Atlantic Ocean, many millionares onboard offered all their
money and jewels in exchange for a seat on a life raft. No one took them
up on their offer. Their money and jewels had become suddenly worthless.
The reason is clear. Those life rafts meant the difference between life
and certain death.

What if one day you run out of food? Can't happen you say? Remember the
Titanic? Before that mighty ship hit that iceberg and had its bowels ripped
open, people on board all said the same thing..."Impossible. This ship is
state of the art and cannot be sunk."

Today we utilize state of the art technology to keep food in front
of us. Food grown thousands of miles away is delivered everyday to
thousands of grocery stores across the land. Not only is the food fresh,
we can choose from many varieties and different price levels.

We even have state of the art food stamp programs and local agencies
to provide the poor and needy with food. Our country is so blessed with
technology, most people simply take the availibility of food for granted.
The thought of running out of food or of ever going hungry never crosses
the minds of most people.

But ask anyone who has been through a natural disaster and knows
what it is like to go without food for days on end. They will tell you
food can disappear in a heart beat.

This is why food and having food reserves is more precious than gold,
oil and cash. In fact, food is our greatest dependency 'cause when
you're hungry, nothing else matters then.

No one in their wildest dreams ever thought the Titanic would sink,
but it did. No one ever stops to think how life would change should
store shelves suddenly go empty, but they do.

Life is full of challenges. You cannot control floods, hurricanes, tornadoes
or the economy. But if you have food you have personal solutions to
how these things affect you. Think about it.
