Dear Jim:
Whether you might need or want to lose some weight, I find the logic behind the “General Motors Diet” (which GM reportedly had a nutritionist develop) absolutely fascinating. I think this understanding could have beneficial survival advantages to your readers. It’s the HOW and WHY it works which is so interesting, and I’ll tell you, it does work. Here are the two versions of it I am aware of:
Most readers here have probably heard the adage: “Store what you eat and eat what you store.” I think we all need to keep in mind a potential shock to our systems if we suddenly start eating dehydrated foods and other things that we are not used to. A survival situation is no time to have a upset stomach, or worse, other related problems shall we say. Try out some of your storage food with your family in advance so you don’t have to flush out any problems later. More good advice, along these lines, like picking what kind of beans your family will eat before you buy large quantities, can be found in the “Rawles Gets You Ready” preparedness course of which I am an owner and now a follower. – Rourke
