Food Storage For Winter

Our pork, beef, chicken & tuna arrived today. As soon as we got home we set the table up right there outside and processed it. We had all the meat but 6 butts in the freezer in an hour and half.  What a deal! 
The canned stuff went on the shelves and viola' we are ready for winter.
I have been hearing, not sure if it's true or not, that storing up food has become or is becoming illegal in some states. As long as there has been Americans in this United States we have been storing food in our pantries/root cellars or what have ya. I personally, have been helping with and storing food since I was in my tweens. Many a time did I have raw hands from hot food for jars and many a time we ate straight out of these same jars time and time again. I tend to believe that those who are either jealous or ignorant or envious or just plain ol meanies have no clue what they are missing. Storing food is also the way God has directed us to do to make sure we eat healthy and do for ourselves & our families in times of hardship (for example, winter time)
Proverbs 27:12
“A prudent person foresees the danger ahead and takes precautions. The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences.”

 1 Timothy 5:8 (KJV)

^" But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel."

 So my question for you is, Are you going to let some simpleton decide for you whether you should prepare for you and yours? Or are you going to listen to "The Man Upstairs" and prepare for you and yours?

It takes a lot of time and forethought to prepare ahead. Plus knowing where your food comes from is always a benefit!
