If last year taught us anything, it’s to stock up on “survival” food. Food-hoarding, along with a lack of critical PPE, hygiene and sanitation supplies, was a major problem in 2020.
Although the human body can go about three to four weeks without food, death hovers nearby. Even with so long between the last bite and the last breath, after only a few days without food, a person’s mental and physical sharpness decrease rapidly, and this can put even greater strain on an already tense situation.
