With the threat of winters heaviest snowfall so far this year about to hit Kalamazoo and the impending doom and gloom of a frigid week of bitter cold temperatures
(including some below zero wind chills) why is there the incessant need to race to the grocery store and empty the store shelves of all the bread, milk, eggs and a plethora of other mainstay grocery items?
Are we really going to drink 3 times the amount of milk we normally drink because 6 inches of snow falls? Eat 3 times the amount of toast we normally do because of cold temperatures.in Michigan? Would we really be able to consume the heavy stockpile given that all perishables have expiration dates?

New London At the walk-up food distribution site at St. Mary’s Star of the Sea Church on Huntington Street, recipients on Friday collected prepackaged bags of canned goods and pasta, a 5 pound bag of potatoes, two bags of apples, a bag containing three or four pounds of frozen ground turkey, along with two or three bottles of juice and a half-gallon of milk.
“I haven’t used a food pantry in 15 years,” said Kasey Belair of Waterford. “I’m grateful for everything.”
Belair, whose hours were cut at Mohegan Sun Casino, said her husband is retired and her mother is disabled. Much of the food she received will be for her mother. Belair said she was surprised at the quality of the food in the distribution, especially the frozen ground turkey.
