    Dried beans, rice, oats and other grains.

    But if you believe what you read here, you can just 'shut down your metabolism' by eating at 1200 for a day or two. Then you don't need any food at all. :laugh:

    Dried pasta and beans, lentils, etc. Jarred pasta sauce and canned tomatos & paste. Canned salmon (healthy fish oils and a great source of calcium) and tuna.

    I would think that a relatively high sodium content would be a bonus during a zombie apocalypse. Since water will be presumably hard to come by, we'll want our bodies to retain as much of it as possible.

    Why can't they break in? Because they don't have Costco cards? :happy:

    Where I live half the town is Mormon, and they usually have 2 years of apocalypse food stored. So I guess I'd be converting when the zombies come.

    In my efforts to stockpile a little extra food for unforeseen local emergencies, from a 3-Day power outage to a full-blown Zombie Apocalypse, I've noticed that foods with a 1 - 2+ year shelf life tend to be high in sodium or other undesirable ingredients.

    What are some suggestions for fairly healthy foods that have a shelf life greater than 1 year? Thanks

    Get yourself a dehydrator and start drying meat, veggies, fruit, nuts, seeds, etc.

    Have you looked into hyroponics? You will need to make sure you have a generator or some source of energy for the lamps.

    Yeah, the dried beans and rice are going to taste lousy if you don't have power to cook them.

    The high sodium just means you need to stockpile bottles of water with it to wash it out. Then of course you need to have a way to dispose of your chamber pot, with all that water....

    Costco at least has coffins in stock....

    In the case of a zombie apocalypse - i would no longer care about which foods I am eatting, as long as if i am eatting something. In a time of emergency, you cant be too particular and just be thankful for the fact you have food.

    Haha I could just imagine being locked down in the basement during a zombie apocalypse reading the ingredient labels saying "this has way too much sodium".
    ^^^This! Wouldn't worry about the sodium. However, DO make sure you have a non-electric can opener.....

    You would be better off going to a business that has a second floor {not going to tell you my fall back location}. Block off the stairs cases and wedge the elevator. Warehouses have a weakness called delivery bay doors.

    But then you will get affected, i would stock up on dried carb's and dried fruit, added with canned veggies, and beans.

    First of all, I like where your head is at.

    Secondly, do you have canned tuna in your stockpile? That would probably be the first thing I'd grab.

    Freeze dried fruits and vegetables. Depending on the variety and how they are canned, some can last up to 20 years if they are unopened. And they taste good dry or re-hydrated. I buy them from Shelf Reliance because my toddler has texture issues and can't handle a lot of fresh vegetables.
