Food storage calculator?

[ChelC]

I know I've asked this before, and I can't find it now... but does anyone know where I can find the recommended storage amounts that the church site had a couple years ago? When they came out with the new pamphlet they dropped it from the site, and I really wish I could find it. I want to take inventory and see how we're doing.

Here is also a more complete one that goes off the church's numbers

Thanks Spence! The church one used to be much more complete than it is now, giving amounts for dry milk and all the extra things. That calculator is even better and will help me out a lot!

Any thoughts as to why the church is lowering the bar rather than raising it on this one?

Living a lesser law to see if the Lord can get people to follow that one, and if they do raise it back up to a slightly higher law of 1 year food storage?

Or perhaps the elephant analogy, too many members seeing 1 year food as something unobtainable because they aren't taking it one bite at a time, so maybe 3 months is something to refocus the wayward members taking it in a smaller bite.

I wonder if the decisions was also in part considering the members outside the US who have less space and often less resources available.

It's still a years supply-----3 months of what you ordinarily eat, and the rest in just staples to survive on.
