The most basic food plan is the Mormon Basic Four from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints'. You may want to use it as a starting point and build from there since it is the backbone of numerous other survival programs.
- Select hard red winter wheat packed in Nitrogen
- 200-365 pounds per person per year
- Keeps indefinitely
- 60-100 pounds per person per year
- keeps 1-5 years
- 35-100 pounds per person per year
- Keeps indefinitely
- Keep dry in a tight container
- 1 - 12 pounds per person per year
- Keeps indefinitely
- more if food preservation is planned
These four will NOT make a good diet nor a very interesting one, but it will keep you alive. At a minimum, vitamins and mineral supplements as well as a source of fat and oil should be added.
The Mormon 4 was created to provide one year of food at low cost with a very long shelf life. Part of the Mormon faith stipulates that all families should have at least one year's food supply in storage.
