Grew up with 4 siblings and Del Monte canned spinach was a staple at our table. Wife likes it as well so we have been eating it for our 40+ years of marriage.

Used to hunt doves in Crystal City South Texas, where Del Monte had a canning plant with a random statue of Popeye in town.

Lately it has been harder to find than toilet paper at local grocery stores.

Is it a "hunker down" vegetable or is there a "secret" anti virus component to it of which I am not aware?

I would have to think frozen or fresh would be so much better, why canned?
 
I haven't been able to find Bumble Bee tuna in the gold can, I haven't seen it in months.[emoji853]

Shortages on everything. The garden will be bigger in the spring. This darn virus is hitting everyone.

Survival mode,
Some fried up chop meat, garlic fried in olive oil, a jar of tomato sauce, a pound of macaroni, Parma cheese some homemade garlic bread makes a goodcheap meal with left overs..

You can do tuna in tomato sauce too.

Here- Lots of stuff not on the shelves.
Don't buy canned spinach so can’t report on that.
The Survivalists Prepper folks have been saying for years that our food supply isn’t that robust and is subject to disruption by a number of factors.
They may have something there!

They were dumping thousands of pounds of potatoes and giving away as many as people could take around here because stores were not buying and selling as many with people staying home more. You would think the sales would be up, but didn’t happen.
 
We had 4 kids, so I felt it was always necessary to have a hefty stock pile of food in the house. In the summer tine it would get down to 30 days, in the winter it was at 90 days (for Y2K it was at 6 months)

There is a group of people that know how to survive any hardship in their environment. They have no need for Jungle or Tundra survival skills, but they just sluffed off everything! Who is this SuperSurvivor group? Inner City Grandmas! No Electric? No Problem! No Heat? N0 problem! NO Job? No Problem! They have a mindset that no matter what, their grandkids are warm, fed and clothed!

During the early stages of the pandemic I observed two "Mobil Food Pantries" and worked at a third. I would see women in the $80,000 Mercedes SUV drive in all embarrassed, they would get about 15 pounds of food and the look of relief on their faces was priceless!

The Inner City grandmas, knew how many small kids to bring to get a double portion! They could always borrow a few if needed!

I see churches, police, fire, and civic groups doing everything they can to help everyone survive this crisis. I SEE the Red Cross begging money, but I worked near their headquarters, they did the least, and complained the most!

Help others when you can! If you can give some, give it where it will do some good.
