Now don’t get me wrong. I understand your emphasis on food grade buckets, etc, and your thoughts about the various nutritional values of certain foods.
But you need to understand something.
What is being planned for/discussed here is nothing like planning for a weekend camping. It’s not like after SHTF, you will wake up a year from now and wonder what you will have for breakfast, pancakes or home fries.
GET OVER THAT IDEA AND MENTALITY RIGHT NOW!
You would be DAMN lucky if a year after SHTF you can have a few crackers for breakfast instead of eating some beetles you dig up.
Yes, it’s nice and cozy to think you have all these options.
But somebody who stores ten pounds of flour in a paint bucket is WAY AHEAD of someone who didn’t store anything because he was waiting to get food grade buckets.
We’re talking the end of the world as we know it here, certainly widespread murder and likely cannibalism.

A little thinking and planning helps if one wants to save one’s life. Every bakery has 5 gal. FOOD GRADE buckets with lids they throw away every day. I know because I got some. Chemicals are in paint buckets and I mean paint buckets that have never been used. Use them if you want poison in your system.
If someone wants to stay healthy enough to live, eat rice with those beans to have complete protein. Beans by themselves won't do it.
Right now, there are options to choose to stay alive and not die of malnutrition or poison.
