I actually tuck a couple packs of cigarettes into my care packages to friends overseas. They don't smoke but it great bartering. Glad someone mentioned that.

I think with food allergies, and I am not being sarcastic here, if someone comes to me for aid in crisis and we are all hurting, I am going to give them what I can, I am not going to deplete say my rice stores because the last three families all had a gluten intolerance and wouldn't take my pasta.

My son has some health issues that demand nutritional considerations so if the choice is him or someone I don't know, its him, every time.

As an aside, if you end up in a neighborhood disaster, be the first one out there with your .22 knocking down pigeons and crows.
