5 FOODS You Didn't Know Were ILLEGAL to Stockpile!

[@dfanman1]

If you prepare ahead of time it's not hoarding.

[@JCC_1975]

Um NO! Preparing for disasters is a must and food and water is a necessity so NO, BEING PREPARED IS NOT ILLEGAL. Maybe overstocking DURING a disaster could be an issue but this is ridiculous 🤦 ETA: if you're prepping then your canning and not worried about no electricity 🤦

propaganda

[@RonaldDCass]

The "prepping" when there's no shortage will not cause people to go without during shortages. It will actually reduce demand. People that wait until there ARE shortages to hoard food or water, CAUSE greater shortages. People that prepare ahead should not be penalized. We are slowly building a supply to SHARE with friends and family that were unable to build a surplus for hard times. I have been putting dates on all food etc. so we can prove it wasn't hoarded during shortages.

Preparing is NOT hoarding. Stop the untruths

Loose lips sink ships In other words do not tell anyone about what you have Hello from Australia

[@peachesrambo4037]

Hording is what people say right before stealing supplies. The police is really good at that.

[@RobertHarrison-b9r]

Buying little at a time is not hoarding

[@sunnyat7649]

greedy gov!!

[@RonaldDCass]

It's a shame many do not put aside anything when times are good, then hoard huge quantities of product when there is a shortage. Government is supposed to make sure everybody has the necessities. Those that distort the supply system by hoarding during shortages are selfish & greedy. The government is not actually the greedy one here, however it is unfair to hoard essential items when a shortage already exists.

​@@RonaldDCassI hate to tell you but it's not the governments job to make sure that you have what you need, but the good news is just buying a 10-20lbs of rice, oats, some type of dry beans, flour or wheat berries to grind into fresh wheat, ect.,same thing with canned goods (even if you buy 5 canned goods extra each week adds up do you have to lose, just buy what you eat. I hope this helps you out.

[@RonaldDCass]

@@lisabibby6274 yes, the government does attempt to keep people from "panic" hoarding during crisis so everyone can have access to necessities. However, each of us are responsible to do our part by stockpiling enough necessities IN ADVANCE of any shortages without HOARDING. I have been self employed all my working life (over 65 years) & we always tried to keep several months supplies during "good times" so we always had enough for "down times". We don't stockpile only for our needs, but to have enough to share. We always have enough on hand to keep our family & friends from hardship. Being "PREPARED" in case of hardship times is NOT HOARDING, but excess buying DURING CRISIS IS, & is the result of selfish, greedy personalities so prevalent in today's society, & in fact can actually CAUSE greater crisis. Also if power is out, a major waste will occur if people don't have provisions to preserve by canning. We are prepared to save & use our frozen & refrigerated foods. Our emergency supplies are primarily non perishable. We put dates on all supplies to prove we got them before any crisis. There WILL BE major crisis in the (relatively) near future. Selfishness & greed will not guarantee survival.

[@davidr1676]

Hoarding? What about all these food production facilities that have burned or otherwise destroyed in the last 5 years and farm land gone silent and mass kill offs of animals?

[@donnywilkes6417]

Bullcrap.

[@rlewis19731973]

As if people report to the government the foods that purchase

[@kiddlesnmore2]

1) Fresh meat 2) Bottled water 3) Sugar 4) Canned goods 5) Wheat

[@davidr1676]

No mention how stores, wharehouses, and trucks have almost no backstock that wouldn't be emptied in a day. Pharmacies often don't have enough medication on hand to go more than a single business day before running out of controlled substances, psychiatric meds, life saving meds. They used to stock much more and there were many more pharmacies in every town.

[@Denise_B17]

As a former Californian these are wrong.

[@nanettedoerr4396]

[@neilcombrink5231]

Crap

[@reneebrown2968]

This is why I'm always prepared for all storms, including food water and fuel to get thru the storm. Why would you wait until right before a storm to stock up on what you need.

[@reneebrown2968]

Well don't look in my freezer. I don't understand how storing food could be illegal. This is why I really want a freeze dryer, so I can store foods for long term.

[@harleygirl22980]

Not my problem if other people don't want to stock up on food what the government is doing they made the food shortage it my money ill buy what I want

[@carterhorn4736]
