Days.
After the soviet union fell in Armenia there was no supply of food the first days. Also no gasoline nothing.
The first day people were normal. Second day people started stealing. Third day all birds and rats were shot for food. Luckely soon food became a normal thing again. But chaos is quickly there. I believe even quicker in rich western countries. Most men and women cant survive on their own for a week.
Most people have a weeks worth of food in their house. Unless they are people who don't cook.
It is easy to make that longer by keeping extras of stable food they normally eat. I like to keep extras of everything I use regularly. Which really helped during the pandemic.
While I agree, I think many apartment dwellers have less storage. Home owners tend to have more, just due to that extra space.
But the other factor is, some people literally only eat pre-made food, which often a large portion consists of frozen things. I've been in some homes, mostly single people, which have no flour, rice, oats, etc. No real raw materials, such as eggs or butter. No canned food. Maybe a jar of peanut butter and a loaf of bread, and a package of processed meat in the fridge.
The rest are frozen things like prepared chicken wings, and so on.
What I wonder is, what are the percentages of people in these situations?
