It requires no refrigeration and, according to the Hormel Website, the shelf life of Spam is “indefinite”. Toss in the 767 mg of sodium, that you won’t get from deer or rabbit and you’ve just supplied your body with 2 vital “nutrients”, that can make a huge difference, in your post SHTF life.Īnother great thing about Spam is that it’s canned meat.
Fat, that your body will need in lean times. One 2-ounce serving will give you 15g of fat. One 12oz can of spam contains 6 2-ounce servings.
Many of us, who were raised in the rural countryside, know that we can hunt for food (aka meat) in the wild, but some of us do not realize that a diet of lean meat, without any kind of fat taken in along the way, will give you protein poisoning and you’ll probably die. This should have been my first clue that my parents were up to no good, but that’s a story for another time. I had no idea it was so freaking delicious, oh my parents messed with my mind, pretending it was some nasty thing, to be avoided at all cost. Only as a strapping young adult, did I get to sample this delicious entree. I was raised in a pretty anti-spam household.
