Luxury vs Survival

The website of a membership big box store sells two items that could not be more diametrically opposed. The first is reserve grade caviar. For only $280 you can purchase four ounces of this delicacy and "transform any occasion into an extraordinary culinary adventure."

But if you are more survival-minded, for half the price, only $140, you can get a one month emergency food supply for one person. It contains 380 servings of dehydrated food ("just add water and cook") containing a diet of 2000 calories and 53 grams of protein per day. It includes all of your favorite foods like oatmeal, rice and beans, cheesy broccoli, potato soup and rice pudding.

Find your life philosophy on the internet with your food choices. Focus on today or save for tomorrow.
