Today is really the first time in history where it wasn’t common to store food. Growing up almost everyone I knew had a basement with shelves of canned food.

In post 21 above, I give a link to an examination of what you just posted about.
“Prepping” was just common sense up until recently.
It’s the historical norm, not an oddity.

Food storage has been outsourced to the big industrial agro companies. There are gigantic warehouse full of apples, potatoes, grain silos with millions of bushels of wheat.
Me, I'm not so comfortable paying the storage premium and not having ready access to something my life depends on.
