I Inherited Grandma’s Mystery Sludge: Mormon Food Storage Highs and Lows

Send us Fan Mail | What kind of food storage is lurking in your pantry? Flour? Powdered milk? A 5-gallon bucket of crusty old sugar? Or maybe even... a black mystery jelly canned by your grandmother in 1942? Today, Sophia and Stella spill the dried beans on food storage. First, we'll share some crazy stories from our listeners, covering topics like Armageddon backpack drills and what to do when you inherit way too much wheat. Then, we'll dive into the origins of food storage. Why was it such a big deal in the 70s and 80s? And has food storage rhetoric really died down in the decades since? If you stick around until the end, you might just hear how Stella saved our family's food storage in an unconventional and, well, unappetizing way. Sources:https://www.lds-general-conference.orghttps://www.mark-davies.orghttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1973%E2%80%931975_recession?wprov=sfti1#https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_1980s_recession?wprov=sfti1#Backgroundhttps://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/gospel-topics/food-storage?lang=enghttps://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/topics/food-storage/longer-term-food-supply?lang=enghttps://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/teachings-brigham-young/chapter-31?lang=engWe want to hear from you!
