If I were on the move I'd agree with that. I did not make it clear that this is for a long-term shelter in place situation. I also keep Spam, corn beef hash, canned chile, canned tuna in oil, and beef stew in my stock, So I've got the fats covered. But 30+ days of living solely on that stuff is going to make me wish the quake had got me <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />.

Not all of the canned veggies are entirely worthless; the spinach in particular seems to provide some worthwhile nutrition as long as you eat enough of it. And the fact that so much of it is water doesn't bother me. If water is scarce it could actually be a plus provided I can find some more low-sodium varieties.
