How to last food wise when things collapse
I will try to keep this simple. Say you live in China in a small countryside house with a tiny yard. What do you do?
You keep a few chickens and grow greens.
You then buy rice. Rice provides you with energy to do things.
A couple of eggs provide you with amino acids needed to function. Greens, however, can do the job by themselves. Fodder crops do just this.
Greens provide minerals and vitamins.

Say everything shuts down for something like economic collapse or war.
The Supermarkets close. You run out of rice for energy.
If you have bulk coconut oil stockpiled you are in luck!

Unlocking the power of MCT oils

From accelerating cognitive and muscle performance, to balancing your gut, enhancing your immunity, and assisting with weight loss and stamina, MCT Oils are rapidly becoming the go-to, natural power fuel.
MCTs, or Medium Chain Triglycerides, are a form of saturated fatty acids commonly found in coconut and palm oils. Unlike the more slowly digested Long Chain Triglycerides (LCTs) that require bile to be processed, MCTs rapidly convert to ketones in the liver.
Your body cells can be fuelled either by ketones (derived from quality fats) or by glucose (derived from carbohydrate and sugar).
In most western diets, our primary fuel source is glucose, a simple sugar metabolised from carbohydrates. Excess energy from carbs is stored as fat, which can lead to weight gain and other health issues.
The normal way that your body makes ketones is through a process called ketosis. Ketosis is a natural fat-burning process where your body metabolises fats for energy when glucose isn’t readily available. This is the basis of any reduced-calorie diet which tells your body to burn fat when it has used up whatever food you have eaten.
Lowering the in-take of carbs and replacing them with quality fats causes the body to activate ketosis and to start using fat that is being eaten as well as fat stored in the body for energy. Another reason MCTs are amazing is that they are converted into ketones even if your body has not gone into ketosis. This is a big deal because consuming MCTs can help kick start your body’s adaptation to preferentially using fats instead of carbs for energy.
In addition to reprogramming the body to burn fat, and being anti-inflammatory, MCTs can help support good gut health by reducing carb and sugar intake that feeds bad microbes which cause belly bloat and candida.

How much virgin coconut oil should I take?
Researchers state that the optimal adult consumption of coconut oil is approximately 50mls (2-3 tablespoons) per day.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
What is the shelf life of extra virgin coconut oil?
Our DME extra virgin coconut oil has an almost indefinite shelf life when kept in a dry cool place out of direct sunlight.

So this means if you are stuck you could survive on 350mls of coconut oil a week plus greens.
