(Food Security for the Faint of Heart) is a book for those who know the truth of what's coming, but would really rather "be in Colorado" as Judi Collins would say. It's kind and gentle and submerges the reader gently into a "panic" bath. It would be great if the naysayers were all wrong; then we could laugh at their silliness. But there's this small voice telling us they're right, and we'd do well to follow this book's advice. From Amazon Reviews
Avoid the Zombie Apocalypse (or, you know - bad weather)
Unlike a lot of books in this field - (Food Security for the Faint of Heart) ISN'T a hysterical threatening account of how we are doomed to huddle in caves clutching a last lone can of spam as the zombie hordes overwhelm the world. It's a calm, lighthearted, but well written manual for dealing with the simple fact that, well, crap happens.
No matter where you live, at some point you are going to have to deal with either a blizzard, a blackout, or just a night when the roads are too slick to venture forth to the grocery story... and how to prepare for those issues ahead of time. The moment the ice storm starts is a wee bit too late to realize you have nothing in the cupboard - and the author works really hard to explain how to avoid that scenario.
The world is too full of easily hysterical people who panic when the rain falls. Buy this book and avoid the herds of people who only remember AFTER the hurricane is sighted that they must, right now, this minutes, go to the store and buy water.
When even the government is telling folks that they need to be able to manage for a few weeks (or months) in times of crisis - this is a great book to start walking you through the process of preparing. Preparing for what?
Life.
And this book proves it doesn't have to be any more dramatic than that.
If any book was ever published at the right moment, it's [Food Security for the Faint of Heart]. Rising food prices - and in more and more parts of the world rising food scarcity - trigger our most primal fears. Robin Wheeler's book will calm you down and make your eating life simultaneously cheaper, healthier, and more elegant.
