 the title was misleading Sep 22, 2009
I just wanted to know how to store the food I put up for my family properly. This book is for people who think armageden is just around the corner. I really don't think I need guns to protect my food.

 Gladpuppy1 made a BIG mistake Jun 27, 2002
Gladpuppy1 stated that my book included this phrase: "Used frying oils make excellent soups when strained." In reality, what I wrote was this: "Used frying oils make excellent SOAPS when strained." This is on page 30. Readers can make their own decisions about the validity of the remainder of the reviewer's comments. By the way, I was not able to post this comment without entering a "star rating" -- otherwise, I would have left it blank. Thanks for considering my book! Anita Evangelista

A useful book Jun 26, 2002
My wife and I have read and used "How To Develop A Low-Cost Family Food-Storage System," and have found it to be a useful centering point for our stocking up activities. We both recommend this book. On a side note, one of the reviews of this book appearing on this site misrepresents one of Mrs. Evangelista's statements, definitely casting doubt on her credibility. The writer of the review states that the author advocates taking retreaved cooking oil from restaurants and turning it into "soups." I thought this was rather odd for anyone to suggest, so I looked up the reference. Evangelista says: "Used frying oils make excellent soaps [not soups], when strained ..." There is, I think, a big difference between soap and soups. I suggest the reviewer, who gave the book a one star rating, read the book for comprehension next time around. I give that reader's review a no-star rating. Anita Evangelista is a good writer, and reading this book, and her other farm-related books, will be useful to country dwellers and city-dwellers alike.

A useful, little book Jun 24, 2002
Everyone needs a starting point when it comes to acquiring knowledge. This book is one of those points. This may not be the be-all and end-all of food storage books, but it tells you how to get started, and once you take that step, you are on your way. The information you then encounter either becomes self-evident, or you gain enough know-how in the process to "track down" additional facts. I found every page in "HOW TO DEVELOP A LOW- COST FAMILY FOOD STORAGE SYSTEM" useful. Anita Evangelista talks from a life of experience. Everyone should own this book. Highly recommended.
