Mormons are commanded to be prepared
Originally, Brigham Young commanded his people to have 7 years of food. The emphasis was on wheat. The Mormons have done lots of work with all the possibilities of what can be done with wheat: spouted, ground, soaked and cooked whole.
Then after a period of time, they noticed that people kind of lost interest in the 7 year deal. At some point, they asked their members to have a year's supply, thinking that would be easier for them to achieve.
A good friend of mine is a preparedness specialist in her Mormon church, called a ward, I believe. She tells me that there are few who have any food storage. She has prepared and prepared and stored, thinking that if SHTF, she will be the one taking care of her group. I asked how long she thinks she can feed her church group? A few days!
When I last talked to her about this topic, it seems that there is so little interest in preparedness, and especially food storage, that the bar has once again been lowered to a month's worth of food.
It seems to me that no matter where the bar is set, most will be way under it.
I do know that Mormons have preparedness fairs. They also give classes. It has been a few decades since I took a food storage class from them, so I am unaware of where they really are at with the idea. Some are probably very well prepared, while others are just going to go to someone who is prepared and sponge off them, if they are allowed to do so.
