I didn't go through your whole list and I am definitely not trying to disagree with any degree of preparedness people are willing to engage in.freedomforall wrote: ↑June 15th, 2017, 12:16 am Food Storage Sources. Note, this is an old list. Some sites may not link as listed.

I will say that in my own life when I contemplate the suggestions that are and have been made by the church regarding food storage a few things come to mind. Some learned by hard experience.
The healthiest options in a long term situation will be the least processed. So wheat, oats, beans, etc. I know a lot of people say they don't know how to use those, but I think that is part of the point, learning now is so much better than learning then. You may end up wasting it while you learn, but it can be replaced right now.
Receive the blessings of greater health now, be prepared with health, not seaking it in an emergency. Trust me, it takes times for your gut to adjust from prepackaged to real food.
In a looting type situation your "just add water" food will probably get stolen first. I assume most looters who look at my buckets of wheat won't even consider them food becuase they don't know what to do with it.
I know this is debated, but fresh rotated food storage of the kinds I mentioned can be sprouted and eated as a vegetable, and possible be used to grown new food. Can't do that with dehydrated, freezed dried, or packaged foods.
