Many Seek Food Storage Help as Natural Disasters Increase

September 04, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Lifestyle News
SALT LAKE CITY — Each time a new disaster strikes, a growing number of people begin the process of searching for food storage help to learn how to store food for emergencies.

"We get an increase in business each time a new disaster hits the news. People start searching for food storage help on the Internet, and they find us," explained Jeff Augason of Blue Chip Group, Inc. "Not only do we sell food storage products, we actually teach people what to store, how to store it, and how to use it."

All those things are important, because when a stressful situation comes along it will become even more stressful if food stored for a disaster is spoiled or unable to be prepared for consumption.

"There's a little more involved than just buying a few extra groceries and putting them in your basement. Food needs to be in the right containers if it is going to last, and you need to be able to cook it or prepare it if you want to eat. Usually there is no power during a weather-related disaster," Augason explained.

Augason's company provides all types of storage foods, with packaging and containers to protect it so it will be ready when needed. The company offers a web site filled with information and help on 72-hour emergency kits and other food storage ideas at http://www.FoodStorageIdeas.com.

"We not only teach people what to store and how to store it, but we also teach them that it is wise to eat their storage food as part of their regular diet. If you store one type of food and eat another on a day to day basis, when the time comes that you have an emergency and start eating foods that are new to you, you might experience some stomach distress. Also, the time to learn how to prepare emergency foods is not in the middle of the emergency," he advised.

Blue Chip Group began in 1972 when Augason's father, Phil Augason, created a nutritious, economical whey-based milk alternative, which he named "Morning Moos" (tm). Over the past 34 years the company has continued to grow and expand, but still remains a family-owned and operated business.

"We take a personal interest in every customer, and provide personalized help by phone and E-mail to insure that everyone who does business with us is completely satisfied," said Augason.
