From the context of her article, it’s doubtful that is all she has canned and stored. Food storage makes a lot of sense in case of food shortages, spiraling costs, severe weather, natural disasters, loss of income, etc.
Your solutions are great on a macro level. However, other than voting, maybe attending protests, making calls, and getting the word out about government corruption, there’s nothing else to do. I can’t control what the dimwits do on a macro level, even though much of it will greatly affect me.
What I CAN do is on a micro level. I can stock up on food and supplies when they’re on sale, and when I have the extra money. There’s actually a LOT we can do. The fools in Washington and in city halls are beyond all hope, IMO, but I still have to look after my own.

Food storage makes *some* sense. But only when coupled with obtaining the means of food *production* as well (garden, chicken coop, arable land, etc.). And don’t forget energy either. Better either have a few strong backs available, a mule, some diesel laid up in store...
IMHO
Being informed and voting is also a micro approach that one can do. Personally, I don’t think most voters are informed. Indeed, I’d love to see it required that all voters must pass a current events test before they can vote. We do it for a driver’s license...is placing the nation’s leadership less important. One of my student’s once said I’d make a horrible president...but a great dictator! He might have something there...
