Book Preview "How Much Is Enough? Exactly how much is a six month, one year, or two year supply of food?  Good question.  Here again, opinions vary.  The World Health Organization (WHO), recommends a daily intake of 2600 calories for a full-grown, active adult.  Other sources say an adult male will need at least one hundred pounds of food and an adult female eighty-five pounds of food to survive for one year. Ultimately, the decision is a personal one that each individual/family will need to make.  It is a decision that will be influenced by time, resources and availability.  Whatever this decision, one thing is sure ... now is a good time to decide." 96 Page Non-fiction
