you consider Kraft products to actually be "food". It should read there's no shortage of food-like substances.

Seriously it IS garbage food but It is shelf stable and it will deliver calories to your body. Over a short time (say a couple months) it won’t have that much of an effect on your body. Mixed in with what good fresh food you can find it can sustain you. Mind you I am speaking in term of if we were in a scenario where there are massive disruptions in supplies. I guess what I am saying is that some of it isn’t bad to have in a supply store.

I'm not going to make my own fucking mustard and cream cheese. I like the occasional melty grilled cheese sandwich--with Kraft singles. I keep packaged deli meat around for sandwiches. I eat Planter's nuts and Breakstone cottage cheese sometimes. I like A1 on my steaks.
