Americans are rarely connected to the sources of their food. Amazingly, not all kids know that milk comes from cows or fruits and vegetables grow on vines, trees, or bushes. Most don't realize how fragile the food supply chain is. We don't all learn from disasters that grocery store shelves will empty within a week. The only American folks who end to handle regional emergencies or disasters well are religious groups like the Mormons (my denomination), Quakers, Mennonites, or Amish because they encourage home food production and emergency food and fuel storage.
