We were talking to a friend recently whose young son, around eight years old, had gone on a “food strike.” It seems he decided after years of eating meatloaf that he did not like it. He absolutely refuses to allow it into his mouth. We found this amusing in a sense.

While the boy is expressing his individuality we have to wonder, if he was served meatloaf during a survival crisis, where savory foods can come at a premium, would he be so particular?

Of course, a prepper always wants to store away foods in their pantry they are certain their family will eat. We, for one, cannot eat onions. But those stocked items also need to be nutritionally sound and keep us going through the bleak days. Calories and fat while frowned on today will become assets when the SHTF! A starving body is not a productive body.

After the break, check out ten(10) of the best survival foods to stock up in your pantry in the event of a chaotic situation. You might be surprised to discover that some of these are not what you would expect! And there are some items there that even an eight-year-old will like!
