In anticipation of the coming hurricane, the store shelves were empty. Many were completely bare. I stopped at the store and called my mom to see if she needed anything – she was craving some split pea soup. So I turned down the soup aisle and had to laugh at the destruction. Not a can of tuna remained. Most of the soups were gone as well. Except for the “healthy version” of the soups – those shelves were still full.

They are stock piling survival food but not ”healthy” survival food. It struck me so funny I pointed it out to a woman shopping. She laughed as she rolled her cart down the aisle and kept laughing. I wondered if she was sharing my humor or maybe she just thought it was funny that some strange lady had to stop her and point it out!   (I spread the joy anyway I can!)

So I rolled around and took photos with my phone. Not a slice of bread to be found in the store. Sugar coated cereal boxes scattered and few. But turn into the produce department and it was full and lush. Bins piled high of lovely produce. Much of the produce would fare just fine if power were to go off. I’ll be dining on apples, grapes and nuts while the cooked fooders are wondering how they will heat their canned soups they stocked up on.

Above is my emergency supply – plenty of raw flax crackers, seed, things to sprout, fresh produce, water, candles and if I am jonesing for some juice… low-tech-Y2k-compatible hand tools.
Here are the photos of the soup shelves. Funny how there are still lots of the the “healthy” versions of the soups. I guess people crave high sodium and fat content during an emergency!
 
And here is the bread aisle! ….
