I'm from EU and this is way less than my country suggests, which is 2 weeks.

One would hope so, but I bet you enough people would be influenced by a Russian disinformation campaign to trigger riots on the streets because "Russia is a friend, we are the aggressors" or whatever other bullshit they come up with. Then troops would have to be pulled away from the border to deal with the riots.
I have acquaintances who are invested in the Russian propaganda, and this is very possible.
It’s insane, talking about it does nothing as the root issues are others.
I can’t help them.

It is not just for war, but disasters in general, imagine a colapse or jamming of internet network or credit card buying or isolation from a flood or erathquake, help and minimum delivery infrastructures may take easily 3 days in effectively reach the people in need, is a reasonable amount to recover from the shock having around in average the minimum to survive in the mean time. Worse problems will be waiting for solution but this could save lives and improve significantly circumstances.

Nor does livestock husbandry require rape, torture and consumption of animals.
I'd buy pasture-raised eggs instead if they were sold anywhere near me, by the way. And didn't buy anything when I had my own hens.
What do you do with all the useless male animals? In addition, the animal numbers literally don't work out if animals are not killed regularly. You'd have a quasi-exponentially expanding farm, as cows go on to live 15 rather than 5 years and egg-laying chickens live to become 5 years rather than 1. And if you're at the point where you kill animals anyway,

It bothers me that vegetarians don't care beyond this very un-though-through concept of 'animals dying'.
Dairy is a product of the mass rape and imprisonment of cows in horrific factory farms, and chickens are also kept in massively over crowded and unsanitary conditions.
And this is not to mention the constant cullings of male animals, which aren't considered food as testosterone tastes so bad, and male animals can't produce eggs or milk.
Or the constant culling of animals that no longer produce eggs or milk to quota.
Or the mass culling of the diseased or at risk of disease from being forced to live in such disgusting environments.
Vegetarianism is not a moral stance, it's delusional and harms and kills animals at the same rate as eating both meat and dairy.
In ireland, free range eggs are the norm, and most cows graze on actual fields.
but, we have barely any wild areas anymore,. -
I think big part is that people would go out and empty the shelfs imediately if they all started stockpiling for two weeks starting tommorow.
I started getting a bit more everytime it was on sale about three years ago, and have a decent stockpile that probably lasts me for more than 4 weeks.. It's an art to not get too much so that you can eat it when it gets close to expiration date though, so it's better to not buy everything at once but to spread it out.
Just chipping in to say I ate a can of food that was made during WW2 in 1990, so yeah cans do keep for a long time ... when they get very old the trick is to shake the can before opening and if it sounds like there's air inside it's gone bad

I actually have 2 weeks supplies, but I'm gonna eat baked beans and vegan chocolate and drink coke zero the last few days
Yeah, I live halfway up a small mountain (in Europe) and usually have everything needed to survive a month, including if the water and power are cut.
We're currently putting together a pair of bug-out bags as well though, so we can be mobile in an emergency too

Allowing old animals to retire would raise costs, but only proportionately. In my personal case, I inherited a flock, and they all died a natural death.
The breeding "process" as it exists is very problematic. There's research being done into hens that primarily give birth to more hens, but I'm not sure what progress has been made. The obvious other option is just to let them grow up, but now that I think of it roosters tend to fight each other anyway. Hmm, maybe I need to reassess that.
Out of curiosity, what's your stance on wild animals? If you just want to pave everything over and have no non-human animals, there's an argument to be made for that. Usually when I talk to vegans their stance is more like animals should be allowed to live in some kind of natural state, and it's no problem when a wolf kills a stallion for certain abstract reasons. If I was a horse I'd much prefer pulling a cart.

A proper war lasts at least six days.
