Perhaps you’ve noticed that many governments are advising their citizens to set aside some canned goods and water, sufficient to get them through three days or so. You want to say, “Great idea! Be prepared, as we learned in Scouts. I’ll set aside some Spam and crackers. But . . . any particular reason?”
Government: “No, no, no reason, just prudence. One never knows! Good to have some mac and cheese on hand, right? Some protein bars! Also maybe iodine pills in case of radiation exposure. And peanuts! Peanuts are good. Iodine-dusted peanuts, if you can find them.”
