WHY DO YOU NEED TO HAVE A PANTRY?

 Food storage isn’t just for preppers,  but it is for everyone.  Modern houses have tiny pantries.  If you look at many homes from 80-120 years old, all had large pantries.  Why is there such a difference in pantry size, especially since the average size of newer houses is larger. It wasn't  because our prior generations were survivalists, it was simply part of how they lived and taking care of themselves. 
  
Today we examine the how, what and why of food storage.  We dig into why it isn’t really something for “survivalists” but for anyone who simply values money, convenience and their current life style.
