SHOCKED! ~~ Breakfast for a YEAR! ~~ Reality Check

What does it take to feed 2 people breakfast for 1 year? The numbers are shocking! This was a reality check for us. What would we have to give up if the stores shut down or the food supply goes away? What would we eat and drink?

It wasn’t until I started prepping that I really realized just how much food it takes to sustain a human being. Once I started trying to figure out how much rice, beans, flour, fats, sugar, salt, etc. I needed for my family, I was absolutely floored. Makes me shocked that the Earth has been able to sustain this many people as long as it has. Sure, most people eat more than they really need, but just bare minimum survival takes a truly shocking amount of food.

[@cherilewis2899]

I agree with you on this but we,my husband are in our 70's we have4 adults and 2 children in our house. It takes alot food for all of us,so I will start to grow more to supplement the groceries. This makes me think

Unfortunately our world is past the population threshold of being sustainable without the devastating practices we use today. Sure some people can have homesteads, but there is not enough acreage for everyone to grow their own food.

[@Joe-k9m8p]

@@ChasingDestinyBand disagree. There is plenty of space left on this planet. The problem is land is expensive and unattainable for lots of people. Plus people live very unsustainably and commercial operations use land for profit and not for food supply. Many people waste water/money/nitrogen growing yard grass when they could easily use that Money to grow beans and other easily sustainable crops.

[@MsLippy]

We put pen to paper a couple weeks ago, and Ill be the first one to say - we will be in trouble. What we thought was working for us, what we thought was plenty is far from that. This crisis we all are in better be a eye opener to all. Blessings Yall

[@keithwinslett9016]

I'm rethinking all my pantry now. We vacuum seal a lot of meat and vegetables it does help keep things fresher in the freezer and last much longer. But thinking of trying to do flower and cornmeal and a few more things. Loved the last video. Stay healthy and safe ❤

[@JojoCrazyCat]

Yes, way to many think their food stores will always be full. Growing a garden without ever going to the grocery stores is much work. And many people don't even know how to grow a small garden. So if the food runs out of the grocery stores, people will get desperate and start trying to rob people who do have food. Is why being able to defend ourselves is something we fight to keep. Once we lose the right to defend ourselves, only the criminals will have rights.

[@OutWestHomestead]

I think the same way Jojo.

[@entitycasper9892]

My great-grandparents lived on a homestead, didn't get electricity until the late 70's. Grandma would make grandpa breakfast everyday. In spring grandpa would butcher a cow and that meat would be planned for the whole year. They had a cold storage not freezers so most their meat was canned. For breakfast grandpa had 2 eggs picked from hen house every morning, half a potato(from garden) sliced in rounds and fried in lard(rendered from their pigs), and steak. Now grandma would take a large steak and cut it into 7 pieces and that is what grandpa ate every day for breakfast. They both lived well into their 90's. Grandma would make her own cream and butter and ground her own wheat to make bread. I was fortunate to learn lots from them growing up. Now I learn from you guys, thank you both.

Being whole foods plant based, breakfast is oatmeal, fresh fruit or fruit we have canned, frozen, dehydrated. 50 lb bag of oat groats lasts six months. We don't do meat,eggs or dairy. And never worry about having a years worth of food per SDA, LDS, Amish teachings. Thankfully we grow a vegetable garden, fruit trees, bushes. The garden is year round here in California. Once a year we buy 5 gallons of grade A maple syrup from a friend in Vermont and send them lots of our California dates, almonds (which we use to make almond milk and grind for flour, which we harvest. We also buy 50 lb bags of oat groats, and organic winter/spring wheat from a friend up over in Montana which we grind for flour, cereals. We grow hibiscus and a variety of mints for tea.

[@dallasgardener3166]

I am out in the country, amazing how many people are planting gardens now, never used to see them before!

[@redpelt8880]

I've sat down and thought about some of the numbers about a year or so ago. I started having my wife pick up extras when we could and just put them on the shelf. So far through this shut down we haven't needed much outside of milk, some seasoning and a few vegies that didn'tdo good last year. Chickens and ducks give us eggs and meat. Put meat in the freezer last fall. Now just waiting for warmer weather to catch some fish.

[@bretjoramo1393]

lol, our "awe-haw" moment for me was when the mrs. was trying to justify to me how come she needed more canning jars. being a city boy, i thought the 1,000-1,200 jars she already had was plenty. then she used potatoes as an example. at 1.5 qts x 365= 547.5 qt. jars/yr. that's just potatoes! it was a real eye-opener! doing it by meals is a good way to find gaps in our supplies. thanks

I've been eating one meal a day for a year. Took a while to adjust but it's normal now. I'm extremely active, work out 6 days a week, and single handedly run my 190 acre farm 7 days a week. Black Coffee breakfast, sensible supper, and that is all. I feel great, and the doc says my labs are great. So...one meal a day ain't a bad thing....

[@misskriss848]

I've been eating one meal a day for many years, mostly only when I'm hungry.

[@JamieSantos]

I have thought of this for 15 years. I convinced my husband that we needed to be as self sufficient as possible so we put a simple pump in, a wood cook stove, planted fruit trees, a strawberry field, 1/4 acre of herbs and vegetables but I knew that there was still so many more things that we take for granted that we would need to do ourselves; For instance, what about clothing? What would we make our clothes out of if all the stores were closed? We would have to grow cotton, flax( linen ) or hemp to make fiber for clothing. What about medicinal herbs to treat illness and infection? Not many of us know anything about herbal medicine yet it was essential for survival in the "old" days. What about feed for our animals? Does anyone know how much acreage it takes to grow feed for animals? One would need at least 5 acres for self sufficiency. Then, there is the issue of treating our own livestock and domestic animals. I don't know about y'all but my Vet has shut the doors and now only curbside visits are allowed. No elective surgeries for people or animals right now. But, we know this is "indefinitely". What herbs would you need to treat your livestock if they became ill? Remember, they ARE your 'store'! Without them we would have a very boring diet.....and possibly be devoid of the nutrition we would need to be healthy. A good book to have for animal husbandry is 'Herbal Handbook for Farm and Stable' by Juliette de Bairacli Levy. She teaches how to treat just about every ailment for all farm animals, including dogs. Get this book while you still can. It's old but relevant. at any time. This is a hard lesson from God so we should embrace it with Grace, Calm and Peace. Thanks for the Porch Time, Danny and Wanda, and, God Bless everyone.

I don't eat breakfast. I do eat a sandwich & chips. Supper for me is usually light, but I do cook a full meal once in a while. Water gets boring after a while, so making tea will be good. I can't eat, but 2-3 eggs a wk, bc of cholesterol. I'd like to have chickens for just eggs. I could freeze the extra eggs and share with neighbors or barter when things got real bad. Thanks, Danny for showing us all, to look for the holes in their food plan. I'm learning and preparing even more so.

Hi Danny... I posted a message yesterday but then I deleted it not wanted to add more things for everyone to worry about... I feel like I need to mention anyway. You said you felt so restless yesterday and didn’t know why. That happens to me right before an earthquake. Please consider any glass items of jarred food that might fall easily from any shelves.

Hey Brother Danny, Our family of four have been prepping for several years. Mostly extra food and essentials from the store when things are on sell. We have a small garden but successfully can plenty for the pantry each year and give away as much as we consume. This year went to no till and raised beds our whole garden. Just bought 20 laying hens and set up for mobile chic shaw with a Solar charger and fence. Won't have eggs until August but glad to be able to take one more step towards being more self sufficient. We're raised two grand daughters and they're loving the homestead hear in southern Indiana. Getting 40 meat chickens in a couple of months. Have 10 ACRES and can grow grain but harvesting will be labor intensive and we're almost 70. Hopefully we'll get some bees this year also. We're expanding our garden and berry patch, fruit trees, and asparagus. We're trying to produce enough to share with family and friends. The world is about to change forever most will be totally lost on how to survive. Thanks Danny and Wanda be safe and have a blessed day 🙏 PEACE BROTHERS AND SISTERS 🙏💙

[@christieferrell2611]

For those who can eat wheat don’t forget to buy the grain berries & get a hand grinder to make flour or an electric one if you can afford it. Wheat, barley, spelt etc. you can make quick reads & tortillas & put stuff from garden in them.

Thank you Danny. That was a reality moment for me. I’m in NSW Australia but I think we will have the same scenario as America. The few folk here that I have tried to touch on …hard times coming or mention prepping and the subject is dismissed. Comments like , “Australia grows enough to feed the world.. we will never go short.” Breaks my heart but at least my relatives and close friends understand now and are preparing.. even getting generators, solar panel for light inside at night,, storing petrol, gardening equipment, shade cloth, seeds. Etc. it’s an awesome task and hard to believe it’s come to this. I enjoy the few minutes you share of your life and I doubt you and Wanda can prepare any better.

Thank you, Danny and Wanda, for taking time and energy out of the precious time we share to prompt us to consider deeper what it takes to sustain our current lifestyles. Yes, as you say, this is just scratching the surface, but maybe this will help us move toward a healthier way of eating as a whole. I hope, as we prepare for the coming year, each of us can focus on rebuilding habits that history has shown us to be good practices. Three square meals was made for structure, but with just two in the home for some of us, we may find benefit in less. Less full meals, less food intake, less consumption of resources is my current focus and today you reminded me in the midst of daily uncertainty and shutdowns to look ahead mathmatically. Thank you.

We are truly blessed here in the US because compared to the rest of the worlds average household we are probably in the top 1%. We have 4 walls and a roof on our homes, indoor plumbing, access to fresh water, access to fresh food and bulk food, a way to heat our homes and staying warm, we have access to electricity and even have technology in our homes, we have opportunities to make money. This goes on and on all the blessings we have here that just across the southern border there are people living in dirt floor cardboard shacks! I try to teach my kids about the miracles we have every day compared to the rest of the world, however, it can be a detriment in times of distress. The average household in the US doesnt know how to survive if lets say something happened like the grid went down. Do you know how to make a fire without a lighter or matches? Do you know how to filter water without buying a month long filter from the store? If there were no stores where would you get your food? Do you know how to grow food? And the questions just pile up. Its really scary to think about but we now have been forced to think about it. I just hope there is time to act and this virus is just a wakeup call and not a real apocalyptic scenario we are facing. I keep praying!

[@ibislife]

We are truly blessed in Norway also. My colleague asked me this morning "How are you", "cant be better, I answered, I am well, and have a job to go to"! That is unfortunately not the case for so many people around the world today. Keep praying! And bless all the healthworkers! ❤️

Thanks Danny. Interesting that you did this video today. I just got through doing my monthly summary for March. I got 151 eggs and I'm wondering, "where did all those eggs go?". I use an average of 5 eggs daily so 5 X 30 = 150. If I'm going to store any for later I guess we need to cut our egg consumption back by 1 egg daily. My hens are starting to lay more so we'll do fine. I really didn't think about how many we use until I did the math. Much Love

[@merryanneadair-burrier3970]

YES! I would definitely like to hear about dinner & supper meals! My son, his wife & children moved in with me a month ago. Having them here is a huge help & blessing to me on our acreage & with the livestock, but I'm seeing how fast all my canned goods are going down! We're now trying to figure how much the garden will need to be scaled up to feed all of us. We have chickens & turkeys for eggs & meat. Dairy goats for milk & meat. And rabbits for meat. Just hearing about the amounts needed for breakfast for a year has me thinking we need to reassess & increase our estimates! Thank you for all you do. God blesses all of us out here by your wisdom.

[@chitownmountain]

Danny thank you. Reposting this is my prepper gardening group. Great video. Could do one for lunch and dinner too? Yes please. Also could you talk about the year total numbers like you did with eggs for all the major things like meat is X pounds per year to cover lunch or X pounds per year for dinner. Maybe how many pounds of butter per year for all means and pints of tomatoes for the year. I know you grow what looks like a huge amount of sweet potatoes but you grow for the year not the week and they get canned mostly. Yearly total really help people to understand that a 10 by 20 garden in the back yard just won't give you the basic needs for your meals. I do hope this pandemic opens eyes enough to bring back the old victory gardens. And a few chickens and/or rabbits in every yard for meat/egg production. Even in cities. Looking forward to your next one. Thank you again :)

[@jksatte]

I would love your ideas on the other meals. I have a back yard garden I am starting. I don't know what my sister and I would do if we couldn't go to the store.

[@robinwilson9008]

Great video Danny! Makes one really stop and think. You mentioned if people couldn't get foods at the store if the pandemic got really bad. But what about feed for your chickens, pigs, and cow? Do they completely free range, or do they also need feed from a store? Just something else I think people should think about. We only have chickens but I grow extra veggies and greens just for them to lower feed costs a bit. I would love to see videos for lunches and dinners and what those breakdowns might be. Keep up the great work you and Wanda do and stay safe!

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

We mostly free-range our animals they get a small treat once a day it helps keep them where they can be handled easier.

[@margaretharris65]

I would love to see lunch and supper planning. I live in Las Vegas and worry quite often about what will happen when those trucks stop moving food into the city. I try to prepare but can’t do what you and Wanda do, because of the lack of space to store as well as the money needed to purchase what can’t be grown. This season we were caught without seeds. Couldn’t find them anywhere! And I asked family and friends to send me some and I would double reimburse them for their help. Not one package came to us. I recently retired in May if this year so I don’t have that extra income as I did when I was working and beginning to collect my social security check. Give me some hope that whatever I have done so far will be better than not doing anything. Love your videos and I keep on praying daily for the Lord to guide and protect this country.

Rice with fruit makes a good breakfast. Potatoes and eggs. I agree its shocking to consider how much food it takes for a year. Since my garden cannot feed me I have to buy to build my pantry mostly from regular grocery stores. I've been at it for 30 years so have solid preps and will as long as replacements are available. I'm going to have a very long list to replace what I'm using by the time my self quarantine ends which I'm now projecting to be June.

You are absolutely right Danny. I have the same food sensitivities that you do. It is an eye opener when you think of the kind of foods and the amounts you consume over the period of a year. I have started growing vegetables in 5 gallon buckets and raised beds. It is imperative that we grows much as we can, and can or preserve what we can. It's going back to the old ways. It's good knowing that what you grow has no chemicals or additives. Thanks for you videos.

I love this video! I'm going to start thinking through it for my situation, too. Do you guys buy feed for your chickens, or do you grow/raise all their feed on your homestead?

[@lc7789]

total breakfast cost annually : $0 intermittent fasting is the best!

[@annareich4176]

A dozen eggs cost $5 at Walmart here . I have hens so I don't buy eggs . I'm going to process chickens and ducks but I'm keeping a couple hens and a rooster, a drake and a couple hens to replace my flocks in the spring . I'd really like to know about the other meals .

[@melaniemccullers9089]

Yes I would love to hear lunch & dinner. You really just opened my eyes that I'm not doing enough in my garden & I need more chickens. Do you have a video on how you make your own grits?

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Yes we do.

[@sherrimize3004]

Thank you Danny, yes I would love to hear your thoughts on lunch and dinner. I have done some of it in my head, but not wrote it down. It’s just my husband and I also. Stay safe and God Bless you and Wanda 😊🌻🌺

[@raybrock4008]

it sure adds up, think about the entire nation how much food it takes

[@getitright5863]

I recently quit using creamer and started using a nut milk, planted 7 almond trees, I live high desert and don’t think I could feed a cow or 2 goats without buying feed. So trying to change how I eat to something I could maintain. Still trying to get it right. Hope I have enough time. God willing. Thanks for the brain food.

[@laurarowland7926]

It's amazing how much we consume in food!!..when covid first started we were short on eggs,bread & tomatoes..I didn't realize what & how much of certain things we used until we couldn't get it, so I had to change my ways of cooking..thankyou for this enlightenment🤔👍🙏✝️

[@denisebrady6858]

Danny that was very informative & has set me on a path to work ours out as well- my Husband & I only. I would love you to go further with this - Lunch & Dinner. Cheers Denise - Australia

[@sandieblack4860]

Yes please, I would like to have you do a video on how much food you guys go through for lunch and dinner/supper. I live alone and try to grow or gather as much food as I am able to. I also have health issues that limit me as to how much I can do with my declining energy levels and effects of the Lyme Disease. Having said that, I know I am way more healthy providing as much of my own food as I can as opposed to relying on stores for everything I consume. Don't get me wrong, under "normal" circumstances, I do buy quite a lot at the grocery store just because I am unable to produce it for myself, and also, our climate doesn't run to year round production of fresh vegetables and fruits. I am in Ontario, zone 5b but with a bit of help from a plastic hoop house and a grow room with grow lights I manage pretty good. I just spent 2 hours getting some of my raised beds prepped ready for seeds and transplants. I already have a few cold tolerant plants in and am also watching very closely for the wild edibles, several are just about ready to harvest in my area. Also, at this point, I would like to thank you for giving me the kick in the rear end I needed to start getting ready for a crisis like the one we are in now. Last year I purchased a new pressure canner and, as my energy level allowed I canned my little heart out. I think with all the veggies, bone broth and a small amount of meat I have stored I could last quite a while. Oh and I didn't mention the dried vegetables and herbs I did as well. So, thanks to you guys, I am a whole lot better off then I might have been if I hadn't listened to you. Sorry for the long post. Take care and stay safe... Sandie from Ontario Canada.

[@angelalowe5987]

Yes I would love to see how much for lunch and dinner. We live in town with a garden in the front and backyard. I keep a stocked pantry and shop once or twice a month. Thanks for this video.

[@judya.shroads8245]

You can grind almonds to a fine powder and add water. It makes almond milk. Not the same, but no dairy to make it. I only eat supper. There are a few cookies thru the day. Been eating like this for yrs. Yes, do lunch and supper video's, too.

[@SueLD]

Lots of food for thought. Would like the lunch and dinner analysis too.

[@KarenBowers4]

I am in Northern California and egg prices have doubled since the shutdown. Now a dozen eggs is selling for 4.00.

[@sandhollowhomestead6972]

I like to consider what the nutrients and carbohydrates are in my breakfast. It's good to mix it up during the week. My mom taught me that in the great depression they didn't have meat ever day. They would have meat once or twice a week. They ate potatoes, greenbeans and gravy alot. Pork was sold or some was kept to maintain strength for the workers. They farmed. My mom said she shot squirrels for meat and trapped fox for pelts. So far this week I've had oats & eggs one day. Grits, pork and greenbeans another day. Today we're having potatoes and lamb with greens. We purchased extra meat earlier in this year and have been canning meals in a jar so we can get our freezers emptied. Seeds are planted except for summer plants. If the rain stops enough that I can get into the garden I'll be planting some things.

[@DeborahMiller-z1e]

On the farm, we ate platters of sliced tomatoes, platter of fried eggs, platter of breakfast meat and hot biscuits. Then we went outside and worked hard till dinner time. When you do manual labor, you eat hardier. That was when I was a kid, in the 50s.

[@larrymoore6640]

This video would wake up anybody about what I would call an average breakfast and what is needed. It's not the fault of the stores it's the people that panic and don't care about their fellow man or woman. Danny thank you for sharing your thoughts and making us aware of our basic needs. If you have the time I would enjoy your input on lunch and supper.

[@danagreen9264]

I would love to hear the breakdown for rest of the day ive no idea how much to put up still need lots of things from jars to seeds but im getting help now daughter is waking up and her hubby !!!! The big challenge now is to keep her from freaking out lol and knee jerking 😬😬😬😉😁😉😉

[@dallasrichards9309]

Yes I would love to hear about what it takes for your lunch and dinner!

[@ThirdCoastGardening]

I’m celiac so I’m gluten free too. I actually was asking myself the same question. What would breakfast be like for a week from my garden. I don’t own chickens so it would be even harder for me, but I do have blueberries, blackberries, grapes and fruit trees.

[@keithwinslett9016]

This video has me rethinking my pantry. Thanks danny. ❤

[@danakarloz5845]

We have two baby chicks but we have eggs from the store. They’re not ready to lay yet. We don’t eat them every day because we don’t eat meat on Fridays. I have fruit trees. We have oat groats and can grow them in garden beds.

[@jerrypruitt7432]

I hope I am wrong but I look for this to last a long long time. and as far as 3 meals a day is concerned. I think to concerve food as long as you could. That would not be possible. Our way of living will have to change dramatically. With God's help l hope we will be ok. Take care and God Bless.

[@creatorschosen8382]

Jerry Pruitt more like one meal a day....

[@tipgiles5432]

We often have enough leftovers for two more meals. Chili is very versatile and stretches. There are only two of us, but continue to find ways to make more meals from a little base. Joy Giles

[@thinkforyourselfjohn3163]

You are correct I believe. I have only eaten one meal a day for over two decades with a small snack in between. Thankful in time's like this. I don't get hungry. Too much food makes me tired I don't know why.🥴

[@creatorschosen8382]

Marie Gabriel John 3:16 im glad TMH lead me to get off meats, processed foods, coffee, tea. I eat a plant based diet so im used to beans lol

[@r.b.johnson5269]

Hi, Danny. It's so sweet you make Wanda's breakfast! I gotta tell ya; I was a little surprised with your comment about "wop biscuits". To my knowledge, that word isn't ok with a lot of folks. THEN I realized you meant-- WOP! The sound the tube of biscuits makes when you hit it on the counter. hahahaha 🤣😂😁 I started figuring out how much we eat in a year just last night, so thanks for this amazing video and all you do. God bless you and Wanda.

[@susannielsen8688]

Very sobering message! And a different way to look at what you need.

[@marylynnbrooks9962]

Keep it up Danny! Very good information. Don't forget potato pancakes, hash browns... Stick to your ribs food too

[@deepowell1167]

Yes do more of these. I have a lot of food for myself but I have found that I'm already getting board with it all and not wanting to eat. I do love eggs and potatoes in any form. This has put me thinking hard about what I eat.

[@dannybledsoe3048]

I didn't know it took that much food for breakfast for a year. yes I would like you to,for lunch and supper, I need to rethink what we grow and raised.we cannot get our garden planted.it's been raining 5 days a week .just got some potatoes planted. God bless!!!

[@walnuttreehomestead3149]

I live in Germany and have been homesteading on our little property for a few years and thought that I was prepared for an event like this.I was so wrong, we are on lockdown now for 3 weeks the only things open are grocery stores and anything food related. I work for a bakery so I am the only one in the family who can leave the house. It is the comfort things that are missing like candy and chips that the kids miss . Some meals now have to vegerarien cause we have to ration the meat that we have stored cause the grocery stores do have bare shelves, I didn‘t want to hatch any ducks this year but now we have 7 duck eggs in the incubator if they all hatch we should have meat in 4 months. Like you are saying calculate how much you eat in a month or a year and make sure you have that on hand. The other thing is the farmers here cannot get the field help to plant and harvest so in a few months there will not be enough produce on the market and what is there will be expensive we already see a price rise on some things. Stay safe and stay at home god bless

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

This is going to happen world wide soon.

[@chucklambert7470]

Morning DSH. Your breakfast breakdown was an eye opener. I believe the future is going to bleak for a lot of people. I took a chance the other day and went to a grocery store. Because of Corvid 19, the shelves in some areas were completely empty. TP is hard to find. I've stocked up myself, but we can get by without it. My Dad used corn cobs when he was younger. People should be getting back to basics and not relying on others. God bless.

[@norcalgal1876]

I’ve seen almond milk powder, that would really be shelf stable! I want to get some for storage but haven’t done so yet.

[@DaveSJS4ever]

How strong do you make your coffee? 1 pound a week? My husband drinks one small pot of coffee (4 cups) per day. I buy a one pound bag of bean coffee that last him for 3 weeks to a month! Wow...lol I drink herbal tea. I use the tea bags over for two to three days! I drink water too! If we get bacon I will eat one strip of bacon. But we only eat bacon once a week if we can buy it. We don’t use creamer! Well your video was interesting! Thanks!

[@pepper6238]

Great Show! Thank you! We have to change.

[@lawhornracing6921]

Amen good to think about. I’m not a breakfast person but usually eat 10a-12p and then again at 7-9pm. Wonder how this would work with people who favor the 2023 fasting techniques. Although they aren’t farming with the calories that you two put in

[@cherylshipley7258]

It feels like the parable of the 10 virgins, Matthew 25:1-13... 5 had oil and were ready for the bride groom. 5 had none and were not ready. For prepping, I have some, but not nearly enough. I haven't been nearly as vigilant and watchful as I should have been. Thank you for this eye opener! Time to do as much as possible, for the time left.

[@sharonlynn3358]

I don't know if anyone has suggested this already but I buy raw organic unpasteurized almonds in bulk, make my own almond milk and i take the left over pulp and dehydrate it for almond flour. Just a thought if it comes to that and you can get your hands on almonds.

[@voxintenebris6367]

Not many of us think of the multiples of portions that would be required in the absence of outside sources of food. I grow what I can in the average garden of my terraced house in the UK, I have multiple allergies and eat very little, but I have 2 sons that eat a tremendous amount. My eldest just likes eating fruit as it is, I have had to discourage some of that in order to make the fruit portions 'go further' by transforming them into something else. I have been making lots of ice cream - just a way of storing fruit and dairy for longer, compotes etc Will be interesting to see how the algo fared with the upload of that video. Take care, Danny and thanks.

[@DAVID9BANNER]

The bandaid is gonna hurt coming off

[@triciasklodowske5653]

That's a great way to look at it ! Yes it's going to hurt really bad. God bless

[@darksquirtle3041]

I have 10 acres. We have chooks so yeah like you it would be mostly eggs for breakfast. Our citrus will be fruiting over the next few months so could have a mandarin with it. We are in the middle of harvesting pumpkins and have them coming out the yin yang. Carbs would be an issue. We have some potatoes and sweet potatoes in but not lots. I am thinking about putting in chick peas as they are a legume they nitrogen fix the soil and can be milled to make a flour.

[@blackberry5447]

When you start crunching the numbers it's an "Oh crap moment" !! This happened to me a couple weeks ago concerning flour. We really can't imagine what it would take but we had better do it now or we are toast !! Yes Danny please do more of these on other meals and ideas. You two are great ! Here is a funny thing . . . sometimes when I'm prepping or working on a problem I will hear your voice in my head saying "It's the cold hard truth" Mercy Me !

[@3sia724]

Thank you that gives us all something to think about and it will be interesting to figure out . I never thought about our consumption of foods individually , just from a budget standpoint. Stay safe I love y’all’s show. God bless yuns.

[@rosejacobs4745]

I love thinking about this kind of thing. I think about it all the time. Yes I would love to see one about lunch or dinner.

[@misst1586]

Sobering. I have thought of it. Last year I spent my savings to put a new water well in. It was 32k divided by 4 families. Had only one place that the health Dept. Would let us drill. Went thru a rock big as a car. 250+ feet. I think that and the generator to run it were my biggest preps last year.

[@marthaadams8326]

And, I taught that having to get a new HVAC system was terrible - :-)

[@dorothylockwood4017]

I enjoyed this video. Would like to hear about lunch and supper. Thanks for all you do to educate the rest of us; I appreciate it.

[@eddieslittlestack7919]

Yes please do lunch and supper videos! This math is intresting. Many videos back you two did you've got me thinking about my math. Just as a single person I'm going from 5 lb of seed potataoes last year to 30 or 35 this year (limited by space in town) and still my short fall there. A raised bed just for canning carrots. It goes on and on, it's very helpful. Thank you two!

[@kendragiles9869]

Yes, I definitely want to hear your thoughts on lunch and dinner also!

[@amyschaefer1140]

Good, thought provoking video. I started prepping a year ago. Probably enough for a year. Doing a vegetable garden this year, so that could be stretched out longer. Please do a lunch or dinner. Thanks!

[@midsouthhomestead9180]

We have been prepping for about 3 years. We rushed out to Costco and spend $500 more on supplies that we absolutely will use and will be sustaining. We live in the Memphis, Tn area and the Mayor says it is going to get bad here. Folks here are doing what ever they want. The road we live on is just as busy as it usually is. May the Good Lord Bless and Protect you guys! Rhonda

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

We are hearing and seeing the same thing here.

[@claireisacamel]

Also just a good reminder to be grateful for the fact that our food supply does exist so we don’t HAVE to be 100% self sufficient.

[@sandieblack4860]

Hey Blondie, agreed....for now!
