In modern society we've been accustomed to all manner of insurance. Dental, medical, life, auto, homeowners, boat, ATV, snowmobile, and probably some other silly insurance that I don't know about. You can't buy a big ticket item without an attempt to be sold some sort of 'factory extended' insurance. That leads me to question the quality of the item purchased at best and just a plain ole fashioned scam at worst.
I'm generally pretty skeptical of insurance. Not that it's intrinsically bad, but I just get the feeling that when push comes to shove, the policy holder will lose. Let's be real, insurance isn't a non-profit industry.
Lately, however I've been a big advocate of insurance, i.e. food insurance. I've been telling some people that it would be a good idea to store up, say, 6 months worth of food. "What for? What's going to happen?" is the typical response. My response is "I don't know, I just think it's a good idea. If you don't need it, you can always eat it."
This is the ultimate insurance. It's really a win-win situation.

I'm stocking up on McDonalds gift cards just in case the worst happens.
totally in agreement....self sufficiency, especially now, is a grand idea.
you have 6 months worth of food? When SHTF I'm movin in with you bro'! Better make it 8 months worth...
I'm getting e-mails from people who never thought of "stocking up" before.
It's also a frugal way to shop for food, stocking up when things go on sale.
