People under quarantine often complain about inadequate food, or lack of food. My proposal - stock up on dry whole grains and beans, which have a long shelf life. Also buy an instant pot, sprouting jars and a supply of Vitamin B12 supplement and soap. (Oat Groats and Mung Beans would be good choices). When the quarantine starts, cook bean sprouts, beans and grain in the instant pot, repeat as necessary. Note that when it cooks, the instant pot also sterilizes the food. That's my idea, what's yours?
Viruses don't live for long periods of time outside their hosts, so rations could still be delivered if quarantined.<p>Instant Pot is great for cooking food and it not spoiling too fast (e.g. meal prepping), but overkill when we're worried about viruses.<p>I did a quick inventory today and estimated we have enough calories from sugar, rice, beans/pulses and oil alone to live for 2+ months at normal function without weight loss. And enough other things for nutrients and many more calories. And that wasn't even planning for anything. Maybe I buy more than we need...
